Home Fire Safety Visits save lives
Many people are at risk from fire in the home, from families
with young children to older people living alone. A fire can
break out for many reasons, from cooking being left unattended or
an electrical fault, to candles not being used safely.
Avon Fire & Rescue Service (AF&RS) is often called to
house fires where a smoke alarm would have provided the occupiers
with an early warning that they were in danger.
The first part of a Home Fire Safety Visit
process involves a telephone assessment, so we
can work out your level of risk. This is calculated by us and
takes into consideration factors concerning your property
and the people who live there.
Following the assessment we will provide you with fire
safety advice and may visit your property to make recommendations
specific to your home and the people who live there. We may also
fit smoke alarms if they are needed. All of these services
are provided free of charge.
Specialist visits and smoke alarms for people who are deaf
or hard of hearing are also available - find out more on
the Deaf community fire safety page.
