Per licensee, there are no firearms in the home. During the inspection, LPA checked the cabinets in the on-limit areas which includes the living room, kitchen, dining area, two (2) bedrooms on the left side of the hallway, hallway bathroom, and any other cabinets accessible to children in care and did not observe any hazardous materials during today\342\200\231s inspection.
