Free home fire safety check
1 May 2009
If you had a fire at home would you know what to do?
- Do you know the best exit route?
- Is that route kept clear?
- Are the keys to your door easily accessible?
- Do you have a working smoke alarm?
- Have you checked the alarm is working?
- Is the battery in the alarm within the recommended life (typically less than 1 year)?
It's a little known fact that most fire services in the UK will come to your house perform a safety check, and often install a smoke detector with long-life (eg. 10 year) battery absolutely free. Exactly what is provided may depend upon the resources of your local fire service, but a free fire safety check should be available to everyone.
