Bedtime fire safety routine

Many fires in the home start at night. Make sure you have a bedtime fire safety routine to help keep you and your family safe.

Here are a few simple things you should do every night:

Switch off and unplug all electrical appliances not designed to stay on. (There are specially designed plugs available which can be very easily inserted and removed. Details of these devices are available from the Disabled Living Foundation - address at the end of the page)
Make sure no cigarettes or pipes are still burning. Never smoke in bed.
Before emptying ashtrays make sure the contents are cold.
Switch off portable heaters.

Close the doors of all rooms.
