Stay fire safe
By taking some simple steps we can all ‘Stay Fire Safe’ and avoid the risk of accidental fires in our homes. Here’s what you can do:
With your support and cooperation together we keep you, your family, and your neighbours safe from fire.
- Allow us access to your home to carry out important safety checks and surveys
- Do not tamper with any fire safety equipment, or the closing mechanism on self-closing doors and fire doors
- Keep communal areas clear, do not store or keep items such as bikes, prams, or furniture in them
- Report any concerns about fire safety to us at the earliest opportunity
With fire-related deaths rising in the UK protecting your home and your family has never been more important.
Having a plan and knowing what to do in a fire could save your life. Preparing and practising how to escape will give you and your family peace of mind.
- Keep your exits free from clutter
- Have a second way out in case the first is blocked or dangerous to use
- Make sure everyone living in the house knows where keys are
- Practice getting low and moving to your exits in case there is smoke
- Choose a safe meeting place a safe distance from your home
If you live in a flat, please ensure that you know and follow the Stay Put Unless fire safety procedure.
Remember:
If you think you may need help to leave your home in an emergency contact us and arrange a visit from one of our Fire Safety officers who will work with you to create a plan to suit your needs.
