The Home Safety Visits App provides a series of brief videos that can be shown on smartphones and tablet computers when doing home safety visits and focuses on cooking, heating, smoke alarms and the speed of fire. Each video is available in English, American Sign Language, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.
