FIT A SMOKE ALARM
The best way for you to protect yourself and your
home is to buy a smoke alarm. Make sure you test the
battery every week. If you need help or advice on which
is the most suitable smoke alarm for you or where to
install it, contact your local Fire and Rescue Service
(Fire Station). They will be happy to give you advice.
Smoke alarms save lives
Fit on every floor of your home and test the batteries
regularly.
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
- Last thing at night - You are far more likely to
be killed or injured in a fire during the night. Get
used to checking your home; before you go to bed.
- Turn off and unplug all electrical appliances unless
they are designed to be left on - like your freezer
or VCR for example
- Check the cooker is turned off
- Don't leave the washing machine on
- Turn heaters off and put up fire guards
- Put out candles and cigarettes properly
- Close inside doors.
