CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The West Virginia State Fire Marshal’s Office has launched a new digital Home Safety Survey designed to help West Virginia residents identify potential fire hazards and improve safety in their homes.
The interactive survey is available to both homeowners and renters across the state through the State Fire Marshal’s Office website.
“Our goal is to provide West Virginia families with the tools they need to protect what matters most,” State Fire Marshal Kenneth E. Tyree Jr. said.
“This survey is a quick, proactive measure that helps residents spot simple fixes—like clear escape routes or working smoke alarms—before an emergency strikes. By working together, we can reduce fire risks in every corner of our state.”
According to the State Fire Marshal’s Office, the survey takes about five minutes to complete and provides participants with immediate safety recommendations based on their responses.
Officials said survey responses will also help the office identify community-specific fire safety trends, allowing it to better target fire prevention efforts across the state.
The State Fire Marshal’s Office is encouraging all West Virginia residents to complete the survey. Local fire departments can also use the tool to support community risk-reduction programs.
