This book is a personal reflection and a pro-active how-to-guide that can help you make your home safer, and can perhaps help you minimize your loss in the event of a disaster. With the help of my family of fire-fighters, I’ll take you room by room, in the typical home, and provide ways of preventing fires, protecting and insuring belongings, and assisting you in the development of a plan of action in case of fire.

You’ll learn how to create an inventory and document your possessions; you’ll be prompted to think about a grab and go list in each room in the event you have to leave in a hurry; and, you’ll walk away with a heightened awareness of what you need to consider when you look throughout your home and consider protecting it, your loved ones and your belongings.
