Stay safe in your home with our top fire safety tips
- Install working smoke alarms on every floor of your home - 10 year sealed battery smoke alarms are the best option and look out for the British Standard Kitemark - make sure you test the alarm every week.
- Check to see if the oven, hob and grill are clean - a build up of fat and grease can cause fire.
- Ensure plug sockets are not overloaded - check how many amps your extension lead or adapter will take and check that the plug sockets don’t go above the limit.
- Ensure all electrical appliances do not have frayed wiring - if they do, replace the appliance immediately an
- Plan an escape route so that you can get out of your home if there was a fire
