Answers to Your Fire Safety Questions

We recommend placing extinguishers in high-risk areas like the kitchen, garage, utility room, and near exits. During your initial consultation, our team will assess your home and help determine the best locations for maximum safety.

Your $19.99/month subscription includes a leased fire extinguisher, annual inspection, free replacement if used or expired, safety sticker guides, and support from our trained team. You also get ongoing resources for escape planning and family safety education.

Nope! If you ever use your extinguisher during an emergency, just contact us — we’ll replace it at no extra cost. It’s all part of your subscription.

Not at all. Renters, landlords, realtors, and even Airbnb hosts can benefit from Safety Nest. Fire safety is everyone's responsibility, and we make it easy for any home to be protected.

We provide a 2.5 lb ABC-rated fire extinguisher, which is effective against the three most common types of household fires:

A – Ordinary combustibles (wood, cloth)
B – Flammable liquids (grease, gas)
C – Electrical fires

This is the most versatile extinguisher for home use.

Extinguishers should be visually checked monthly and professionally inspected at least once per year. With your subscription, we handle the annual inspection, tag updates, and replacement as needed—so you never have to worry.

You don’t need certification, but we’ll show you how to use one with the simple P.A.S.S. method:

Pull the pin
Aim low
Squeeze the handle
Sweep side to side We’ll also provide guides and videos so your entire household feels confident and ready.

Along with having extinguishers, you should:
Install smoke alarms on every floor and test them monthly
Avoid overloading electrical outlets
Never leave cooking unattended
