Fire safety at home
Home Fire Risk Assessment Teams are on call now to offer free home checks, free fitted smoke alarms and advice on fire safety to anyone who might be at risk.
Often victims of home fire fatalities are known to local social
care agencies. Home Fire Risk Assessment Teams work in the
home with older people and people with disabilities
to discuss the risks of fire and to look for any visible
warning signs. They also work with carers to ensure that
they have the relevant knowledge and skills to get themselves
and the person they care for out safely in the event of a
fire.
Use the freephone number 0800 169 1125 to book a free home check
or use the link below to visit the Lancashire Fire and Rescue
Service website for more information including a wide range of
fire-related advice that could save your life.
