Fire Brigades Fit Free Smoke Alarms

In the UK it is easy to get free smoke alarms, supplied and fitted by the local fire brigades.  It’s all part of a nationwide campaign to make our homes a safer placer in which to live. The smoke alarm initiative is especially helpful to older ones who may not be fully aware of the dangers of fires. What happens is that the local fire serice will carry out a ‘Home Fire Safety Check’ where firefighters visit your property at a prearranged time. They go through each room with you to identify any potential fire risks, making sure you know what to do in order to reduce or prevent these risks. They help you work out the best escape route in case of a fire. And finally, that is where the smoke alarm comes in. If you do not have one they will fit one for you.
