FIRE SAFETY CHECK LIST

Throughout your home there may be a number of common hazards that can cause destructive fires threatening your property and, more importantly, the lives of the people you love. New York Property Insurance Underwriting Association has put together this Check List to help you identify some of these potential hazards and suggested actions to correct them.

NYPIUA has provided this Check List as a starting point for better home fire safety. NYPIUA disclaims any liability and is not an insurer or guarantor of anyone regarding implementation of these suggestions. These suggestions should lessen the possibility of a fire occurring in your home, but they do not guarantee your home will be free of all fire hazards. Depending on your local building code, many of the Check List items can be safely accomplished by you, the homeowner, with the important exception of electrical work. All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Please contact your local building inspector for more information.
