Fire safety at home
Home Fire Risk Assessment Teams are on call now to offer free home checks, free fitted smoke alarms and advice on fire safety to anyone who might be at risk.
Often victims of home fire fatalities are
known to local social care and housing other agencies. Home Fire
Risk Assessment Teams work in the home with older people and
people with disabilities to discuss the risks of fire and to
look for any visible warning signs. They also
work with carers to ensure that they have the relevant
knowledge and skills to get themselves and the person they
care for out safely in the event of a fire.
Use the freephone number 0800 555 815 to book
a free home check or use the link below to visit the Greater
Manchester Fire and Rescue Service website for more
information including a wide range of fire-related advice that
could save your life!
