Fire Safety

NAHB helps organizations develop codes and standards that protect you from fire – with smoke alarms, escape windows, worry-free wiring, and fire-resistant materials. Central furnaces eliminate the need for dangerous space heaters, plenty of outlets reduce the need for extension cords, and circuit breakers prevent over-loading of wires. Do your part by practicing fire drills and replacing smoke detectors and batteries.
