Homeowners can increase their chances of safeguarding their homes by utilizing various resources available in their surroundings:

1. **Fire Hydrants**: Familiarize yourself with the nearest fire hydrant locations and ensure they are unobstructed for easy access by emergency services.

2. **Swimming Pools and Water Storage Tanks**: These can serve as vital water sources. Regularly check pool pumps and hoses to ensure they are ready for use in case of an emergency.
