Fire Safety: New Businesses and
Annual Inspections
With
Assistant Chief Tom Habak &
Randy Kimbo, Fire Safety Inspector
North Royalton Fire Department
October 20, 2020
10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
October is Fire Safety Month, an excellent time to review your emergency fire plans and procedures at work and at home.
Do you dread your annual fire inspection? Or perhaps your business has never had a fire inspection. Have you sometimes had the feeling that Fire Inspectors are paid on the number of “violations” they find? This presentation will explain the background on the Ohio Fire Code and reasons why annual fire inspections are so important. We will discuss some of the seemingly minor Fire Code violations that are actually a big deal to you and your ongoing business. In fact, studies have shown that over 85% of small businesses that experience a fire, even a small fire, never reopen. We will also touch upon some fire safety tips to keep you safe at home.
Tom Habak has been a professional firefighter for 23 years. He currently serves as the Assistant Fire Chief of the North Royalton Fire Department. Randy Kimbo has been working as a firefighter/paramedic for over 30 years. He is a certified fire investigator and a retired Fire Chief. He currently serves as a Fire Safety Inspector for the North Royalton Fire Department.
