Fire Safety

To keep you safe in the event of a fire, it is important to know the basic steps you need to take to make your home safer. 

Here are some tips:

• Test your smoke alarm weekly
• Plan how you would get out if there was a fire in your home. Get to know your building’s evacuation plan
• Remember to close all doors, switch off and unplug your appliances such as TV's every night. Keep your phone and any mobility aids close by if you need them
• Make sure candles are not on or near anything that could catch fire and make sure heaters aren’t covered
• Use a maximum of one plug in each socket and never use them if wet
• Make sure you put out and dispose of cigarettes properly and keep matches and lighters away from children. Never smoke in bed
