Before you go away make sure your house is fire safe

 

Holiday time should be a time of relaxation and fun whether you’re on holiday in the UK or abroad.  Take a few minutes to ‘think safe’ whilst you are on holiday so that you only return with pleasant memories.

 

Before you go away make sure your house is fire safe.

 

  • Switch off and unplug all electrical appliances that will not be used whilst you are on holiday.
  • Make sure all gas appliances are turned off, empty all rubbish bins and ashtrays.
  • Make sure your smoke alarms work and close all internal doors before you leave the house – if there’s a fire whilst you are away the smoke alarm may alert a neighbour or passer by, closing the doors will stop the fire from spreading causing less damage.
  • Remember turn off the water at the mains and let a relative, friend or neighbour know that you are going away, if possible leave a key with them.
