Fire safety in your home

You can help to prevent a fire by unplugging electrical appliances like televisions and DVD players before you go to bed and when you go away.

Keep matches away from children and never leave lit candles unattended.

Smoke alarms can save your life by giving you an early warning of a fire so you should check them regularly to make sure they work. If you have a battery-operated smoke alarm, replace the batteries when you hear the warning signal, and never remove them to put in toys. If you have a fixed/hard-wired alarm it should be checked annually when you have your gas inspection.
