Your house burning down in a grid down situation is the worst case scenario on top of an already worst case scenario.  
​
Have a fire extinguishers by the wood stove, in the garage and in the kitchen.  Hold monthly fire drills and make sure the kids and the elderly know where the rendezvous point is.

In the compound assign somebody to be the daytime and night time fire watch / Safety Director.

​

 

Their job is to work the fire in the wood stove, run the armory, run the fire drills, walk around and keep an eye on the kitchen and any areas were tools are being used.

 
This person must have authority to stop any activity for safety reasons.
