What is a Home Fire Safety Visit?
A Home Fire Safety Visit is a person-centred visit to your home by either our operational staff on a fire engine or by our specialist fire prevention team. The visit involves a methodical look at you, your home and the behaviours undertaken within your home, all our information is just guidance, but it will help you reduce the risk and severity of a fire.
A Home Fire Safety Visit will:
- Help you to reduce and prevent fires in your home
- Identify potential fire risks in your home
- Provide information about bedtime routines to help keep you safe at night
- Help you create a robust escape plan
- Check and, if necessary, provide smoke alarms in your property and make sure you know how to test them
As part of our visits, we can also give advice about health and wellbeing, as well fire safety information. This may include where to find support and further advice on:
- Giving up smoking
- Avoiding falls
- Keeping your home warm
- Living with dementia
