20 Ways to Prevent Arsonist Attacks on Your House (Retired Firefighter's Fix)

#firesafety #homesafety #homesecurity #fireprevention #safetytips #firefighter This video covers twenty practical ways to protect your home from intentionally set fires, seen through the eyes of the person who would set one. More than twenty-four thousand American homes suffer set fires every year, and they are more than twice as deadly as accidental ones because they are placed to grow fast, outside, where no alarm is listening. We walk the property in four layers: how a fire-setter picks a house from the street, the fuel most homes store against their own walls, the access points and warning signs most people ignore, and the uncomfortable truth about who usually sets these fires. These checks matter for every household, and almost all of them are free: moving bins, clearing the porch, one motion light, one phone call, and a ten-minute look at your own house from the curb after dark.
