As part of our targeted prevention work, we provide further support to eligible members of our community that may be more at risk of having a fire in their home and therefore need us most.
We do this in the form of a home fire safety visit, which is a free pre-arranged visit to your home to carry out a fire safety assessment and provide you with advice on how to stay safe from fire.
We assess all requests to ensure we meet the needs of those who are most vulnerable and where we know there is an increased risk of fire, such as those who:
- are aged 65 years or over
- have sight and/or hearing loss
- have mobility concerns
- have mental health concerns
- have memory concerns
- are unable to escape unaided if there is a fire
- are a family with children under the age of 5 years
If you are eligible for a visit, a member of staff will contact you to arrange to visit your home at a time convenient to you.
