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
