The Fire Department has expanded its services to include voluntary home safety inspection surveys to all the residents of the Village of Gates Mills. The surveys are performed by State certified inspectors and are intended to identify potential fire and/or safety hazards in and around a home. Placement of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire alarm system components, and home fire escape plans are covered in the survey.

The survey will be completed with the homeowner, and upon completion, a list of suggestions will be provided. The items listed are suggestions only and not violations or orders to repair.

Residents of the Village interested in having a home safety inspection scheduled should contact Chief Tom Robinson at (440) 423-1580.
