Home Safety Surveys

How it works

York County Fire Department personnel provide a Home Safety Survey for residents who have concerns about potential hazards in the home. To schedule, residents contact the Fire Department and arrange an appointment for personnel to visit the home.

During the visit, staff help with a walk-through of the home, look for potential hazards, and make suggestions to improve the home for fire safety and overall life safety. The page also notes that residents may use the NFPA Home Safety Survey on their own to check their home for hazards.

What the service covers

The survey is an educational and prevention service. The page describes it as a walk-through plus hazard identification and recommendations. It does not say the county provides repairs, installations, materials, or cash assistance through this program.

Amounts and matching

This is offered at no cost. The page does not list any grant amount, reimbursement, match, or payment.

How to apply

Call the Fire Department at 757-890-3600 to schedule an appointment, or use the Public Education Request Form mentioned on the page. The page also says residents may contact the department by email.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not give a closing date, seasonal window, or deadline. It is described as available to county residents by request.
