Home Safety Visits

The Home Safety Visits App is a tool for fire departments and others doing home safety visits to make those visits even more effective. It provides you with a series of brief videos that can be shown on smartphones and tablet computers to help educate residents.

Four important home fire safety topics are included:

• Cooking

• Heating

• Smoke Alarms

• Speed of Fire

Each video is available in:

• English

• Spanish

• American Sign Language

• Mandarin Chinese

• Arabic

• Karen

• Vietnamese

The app requires 38.3MB of storage before any videos are downloaded. The videos range in size from 20MB to 85MB, depending on the topic and language. You can choose to download all videos for all languages (28), or simply download only the videos that you'll require. (You may want to download it over Wi-Fi to avoid incurring data charges.) You can also delete videos that are no longer required from your App.

This app was developed by the Friendship Fire Company of Alexandria, Virginia, Vision 20/20, and Lincoln Fire & Rescue of Lincoln, Nebraska with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's AFG, Fire Prevention and Safety program.
