Free Fire Safety Check
COMMUNITY FIRE SAFETY - HELP US KEEP YOU SAFE IN YOUR HOME
West Midlands Fire Service is offering a free Home Safety Check.
This involves firefighters calling at your home giving advice on fire safety and associated hazards. They will talk to you about a wide range of topics, such as hazards in the kitchen, safe disposal of smoking materials, heaters, candles and electric blankets, offering practical advice on how to stay safe from fire and what to do should you be unfortunate enough to have a fire in your home.
Visiting firefighters may fit smoke alarms if necessary and extra help can be provided for people with additional needs, for example, there are now smoke alarms specially designed for deaf and hard of hearing.
Home Safety Check appointments are made in advance, at a time that suits you with a password agreed, so you know the right people are calling at your door. The firefighters will be in uniform and carrying ID cards that they will be happy to show you.
