Fire safety

The following tips come from the London Fire Brigade.

Remember:

  • If you have a fire in your home, call 999.
  • Take extra care - especially when you are cooking or smoking.
  • Know what to do if you have a fire - get out, stay out, call 999.

Please find below some top tips to help keep you safe in your home:

  • Make sure that you have a smoke alarm. Check that it works and change the battery if you need to.
  • Make sure you know how you would get out of your home if there is a fire – and that everyone in your home knows.
  • Stub cigarettes out properly and dispose of them carefully.
  • Put candles out, use a snuffer or a spoon, it’s safer than blowing them out when sparks can fly.
  • Double check the cooker is off.
  • Turn heaters off and put up fireguards.
  • Turn off and unplug electrical appliances, unless they are designed to be left on – like your fridge.
  • Close inside doors at night to stop a fire from spreading.
  • Make sure exits are kept clear.
  • Keep door and window keys where everyone can find them, including guests if they are staying over.
