Did you know that anyone who is less able to escape their home in an emergency, or has a higher risk of having a fire in their home, is eligible for a free Safe and Well visit from their local Fire & Rescue Service?
One of our guests who has already had a visit said: “We had a chat and were given a load of helpful booklets. We seemed to be up to date on most issues, except my electric blanket was more than 10 years old and they said that it was not safe. I have since replaced it.”
The pre-arranged visit lasts 30-45mins and offers advice on how to make your home safer. The fire service personnel who visit always carry identification and, where appropriate, fit smoke alarms or other specialist fire-detection equipment free of charge.
To check if you are eligible and book an appointment, visit:
