Fire Service Leaders, 

The Georgia Fire Academy has launched the new online class Residential Safety Surveys for Fire Departments.  Residential safety surveys are a proven way to reduce fire injuries and deaths. This 1-hour online course will help firefighters lower the risk of home fire deaths by doing what they do best: helping people with simple actions that save lives. This includes installing smoke alarms and other alerting devices, helping families understand the need to keep them working, and helping them create and practice an escape plan so they will know what to do if those alarms sound.
