Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service are offering free Home Fire Safety Visits.
This isn’t just to check that you have working smoke detectors but to inform you of the most up to date fire safety advice available. As firefighters, they are exposed to multiple incidents that happen at home, with prior knowledge these could have been avoided.
Common issues that our firefighters find in properties include;
- Smoke detection out of date, incorrectly sited or faulty
- No escape plan
- Internal doors being left open
- Overloaded power sockets
- Unsafe charging of mobile phones, E-Scooters and electrical devices
Whilst carrying out your Home Fire Safety Check they are also able to identify if you have any other needs where their partner agencies may be able to assist you.
This includes Adult & Youth care services, meals on wheels and Herts Help.
To book your free Home Fire Safety Check please phone 01763 822 100, email Royston.Fire@hertfordshire.gov.uk or scan the QR code.
