The Cabo San Lucas Fire Department is offering home inspections to detect household hazards before and during the rainy and cyclone season. The program, called "Hogares Resilientes" (Resilient Homes), checks electrical installations and the LP gas system through a scheduled visit, the Los Cabos city government reported.

During the inspection, crews check wiring and load centers, along with gas pipes, hoses, valves and tanks, including the age and remaining service life of components. The goal is to spot faults that could cause fires or leaks and fix them in time.

The service is aimed at families, residential condominiums, apartment towers, real estate developments and neighborhood groups. To request a visit, residents should contact the Risk Inspection and Assessment Office by phone and WhatsApp at 624 358 0863 and schedule an appointment.

As basic prevention, civil protection authorities generally recommend not overloading outlets with power strips, checking that gas hoses are not cracked, closing the tank valve when the stove is not in use and keeping the kitchen ventilated. If gas is smelled, they advise not flipping switches and ventilating immediately.

The initiative matters during the Pacific cyclone season, which runs through November, when rain and swings in the power supply raise the risk of short circuits at home. Checking installations ahead of time lowers the chance of emergencies during weather events.
