Residential surveys are typically conducted on what basis?

Residential surveys are typically conducted on a voluntary basis. Fire safety visits inside homes are offered as a public service, and residents choose to participate by requesting or agreeing to a visit. This approach respects privacy and relies on the occupants’ consent to access the home, discuss hazards, check smoke alarms, and review escape plans. The program is usually funded by the fire department or grants, not by the residents paying out of pocket, and it isn’t mandated by code—codes govern construction and equipment, not whether a home safety survey occurs. Participation isn’t random; access is arranged with the occupant’s knowledge and agreement.
