How at risk of fire is your home?
Fire and rescue services across England offer a free home fire safety visit to assess your home and provide bespoke advice on how to make it safer. Where appropriate, smoke alarms will be fitted for free in all areas containing a fire risk, excluding kitchens. The home fire safety visit is primarily aimed at people regarded as having a higher risk of fire in the home, such as:
- People more likely to have fires such as smokers, people with mental health conditions affecting memory, and people who’ve previously had fires or dropped cigarettes onto clothing/furniture.
- People with factors that could affect their ability to react, such as hearing impairment, learning difficulties, or some mental health conditions, and those affected by alcohol or drugs (prescription or recreational).
- People with factors affecting their escape, such as limited mobility, impaired vision, or mental health conditions.
Visits are arranged at your convenience.
