Fire Safety

Barbecue Grills

Barbecue grills are tightly regulated in Fairfax County. Only electric grills are permitted to be used near multi-family residential buildings. Fairfax County Ordinance states that no charcoal grill or any gasoline or other flammable liquid or liquefied petroleum gas-fired stove or similar device shall be ignited or used on balconies or within 15 feet of any apartment building.

Flammable Materials

It is imperative that everyone understand that no gasoline, oil, charcoal, or other flammable materials may be stored anywhere at Talltree South, including the storage areas. NO charcoal or gas grills may be used or stored at Talltree South, other than those installed in the common outdoor areas by the Association.

Fire Extinguishers

You should purchase and maintain a smoke extinguisher for your unit.  There is also an extinguisher on the terrace level and on the first floor of every building.

Smoke Detectors

Fairfax County requires that all residences have operational smoke detectors. Please make sure that the smoke detectors in your unit are in proper working condition and tested at least monthly.

Water Leaks

It is important that every owner maintain his or her unit so that it does not leak, but sometimes accidents occur such as overflowing tubs, leaking pipes, or showers with failing caulk or grout. If a leak originates in a unit, it is the responsibility of that unit owner to fix the problem and any damage caused to other units or to the common elements. If a leak originates in a common element, it is the Association's responsibility.
