A recent condominium fire in Park Ridge has caused extensive property damage and left many owners with uninhabitable units.
Many small associations have smoke detectors inside units and in hallways, but that might not be enough to alert emergency services to a fire, particularly if units owners are not home. Smoke detectors are only useful if someone is around to hear them.
Your association should review its fire detection services and determine if they are sufficient for detecting a fire as quickly as possible.
