Free home safety visit

Many Fire & Rescue Services offer a free home fire safety visit to people living within their fire station boundaries. This initiative has been highly successful in reducing accidental fires and deaths in the home.

The home fire safety visits are carried out by operational crews, they are completely free and you may be eligible for a free smoke alarm. You will not be sold anything.

The visits focus on three key areas:

1. Identify and be aware of the potential fire risks within your home
2. Know what to do in order to reduce or prevent these risks
3. Put together an escape plan in case a fire does break out and ensure you have working smoke alarms.


If you would like to receive a free home fire safety visit, please contact you local Fire & Rescue Service.

You may also make enquiries on behalf of another person - however unless you are responsible for that person, you will need to obtain their permission before you proceed.
