Home Fire Safety Survey

How it works

The Carroll County Fire Marshal’s Office offers a free In-Home Fire Safety Survey. A trained fire safety professional visits the home and gives a personalized assessment focused on reducing fire risk.

What the service covers

During the survey, the professional will:

• Inspect the home for potential fire hazards
• Check that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are properly installed and working
• Provide practical fire-prevention tips for safe cooking, heating, and electrical practices
• Help the household create or improve a family fire escape plan

Who it is for

The county says the surveys are designed to identify risks and provide practical solutions for a family’s specific home and lifestyle. The page highlights that seniors, children, and people with mobility challenges can be especially vulnerable in a fire.

Cost and value

The survey is completely free. No grant amount, rebate amount, reimbursement amount, or other cash benefit is stated.
