A firefighter explains the importance of fitting smoke alarms

We offer a free home fire risk check service which involves a Firefighter or Service Technician visiting you in your home to give fire safety advice, discuss escape routes  and fit free life saving equipment such as smoke alarms and fire guards.

How to book a check

The FREEPHONE number to ring to request a check is 0800 0241 999 and on ringing you will be able to arrange a mutually convenient time for the visit to take place.

All Firefighters and Service Technicians carry an I.D card and will travel in Service vehicles. Although checks to the elderly and vulnerable are prioritised, the service is open to everyone.
