The fire inspection will also fall under the home study. The fire department will do this inspection. Be sure and tell them that it is for foster care.
Your home must have a fire extinguisher where it can be seen.

Smoke detectors near/outside each bedroom and on each level of your home.

Pesticides, flammable, and other dangerous stuff will need to be stored were children can not get into them. Garage high shelf, or a storage shed that can be secured so that children can not reach them.

Fireplaces need to be child proofed with glass doors, screen over opening, etc..

Rooms must have two exits, windows do count as an exit. You can not have windows blocked with furniture or shrubs from the outside.

I had a white picketed fence screwed to my daughter’s wall covering part of her window. It had hooks that she placed her “dress up” clothes, hats, necklace and boas on it. My daughter’s room faced the front of the house, there was a three feet space between the house and the large shrubs. We were concerned that her room could be accessed by a predator. Yes, we know we are over protective. We did have to remove the part in front of the window to pass the fire inspection. We had a security device that detects if a window has been broken in her room.

You must also have a fire plan and practice it, with a meeting place outside your home once everyone gets out.

They will also look at your hot water heater to ensure that nothing unsafe is around it (flammable, boxes, paper, cloth, etc.)

Remember things will be different from state to state, so check how your requirements may be different.

If any one has an experience from their home study or if something is different from your state please, share and leave a comment below.

"Looking forward forward into an empty year strikes one with a certain awe, because one finds therein no recognition. The years behind have a friendly aspect, and they are warmed by the fires we have kindled, and all their echoes are the echoes of our own voices"
