Program details

How it works

The Home Safety Visit Program is a free, community-based service provided by Walton County Fire Rescue. A member of the Fire Prevention Team comes to the home to help reduce fire and life-safety risks through education and practical safety checks.

What the service covers

During a Home Safety Visit, firefighters will:

  • check and install smoke alarms to ensure the home has proper coverage
  • inspect electrical outlets and cords for overloading or unsafe use
  • look for fall hazards and other common household dangers
  • review and practice escape plans so every family member knows what to do in an emergency
  • share practical, personalized safety tips tailored to the home and lifestyle

The page specifically says this is not an inspection or code-enforcement visit. It is focused on education, prevention, and peace of mind, and the firefighters are there to answer questions, provide resources, and help families be better prepared.

How to apply

To schedule a Home Safety Visit with the Fire Prevention Team, residents should email fireprevention@waltonso.org.
