Are you a foster parent in Kingwood or the City of Houston, or do you know someone who is? I would very much like to speak with someone who has had the City of Houston's Fire Marshall do a foster home fire inspection. I'm having a hard time getting the city to provide information, and I want to be prepared. Thank you!!!  4951

Probably not too difficult.  Smoke detectors all work, doors and windows unblocked and easily accessible in case of an emergency.  Couldn't hurt to have a fire extinguisher handy. 4951

I sure wish that's all there was to it! Unfortunately it's quite a bit more complicated than that! 4951

Well, Ok, you already know then.  Seems like if your house was built to any sort of building code, not sure how they can expect any more than that. 4951

@ET: I know the state's minimum requirements ( www.tdi.state.tx.us/ fire/documents/fmfsi foster.pdf ), but not
what the City of Houston requires beyond that.   I would really like to
talk to someone who has been through this.  For example, I know I
need to have my water heater inspected, but I don't know if the City of
Houston also requires the gas pressure test like Montgomery County
does.   City of Houston won't tell us anything until they've been to the house,
and I'd rather pass the first time since they're telling us it will take
30-90 days to get an inspector out here.

Doesn't sound like the COH is in much of a need for foster parents. 4951

@ET: That's exactly how they've made us feel!  Emoticon

The sun can be a fire hazard.  Seems like COH is taking things to the extreme. 4951

Good luck, I find dealing with the city to be similar to putting your head in a vise. 4951
