Recently we learned how our city fire inspector would come to your residence to council you on fire safety and recommend remedies for any safety hazards that you have in your home. This a a free service provided to the residence of cities and all you have to do is ask. The inspection is custom to your home! Who knew! Well we think everyone should know and take advantage of this fantastic service. Our personal inspection suggested we add a smoke detector in the living room, however, our current ones were in good working order- so we scored points there. We also had a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and in the garage- so good for us. But the good news didn't last. We failed miserably on our many extension cords. We had extension cords plugged into extension cords. NOT GOOD! We also had no planned escape plan. There are many products on the market such as chain ladders to aid in second floor escape. Luckily, I can tell you for a fact that Yoshi will be on the bed sleeping through the excitement, which will make it very easy to find him. I would not even consider leaving without him. Pets have thier places just like children do. Don't forget to include them in your escape plan. Your city fire department can help you with the best plan for your family.The experience in inviting the Rockledge City Fire Inspector Lori Matson and Battalion Chief Tim Matson to our home was a very positive experience and we wish to thank them for thier help and expertise. We totally recommend all city residents take advantage of this service. We will be taking all of thier advise and making changes in our home immediately.
