Fire Prevention Week

Is your smoke alarm working?

Every October the government and fire service departments throughout UK focus on the number of deaths caused by smoke inhalation, rather than fire itself, because people simply don't wake up in time to escape. People believe they will be woken by the smell of smoke however, statistics clearly show that many are overcome by fumes before they awaken, effectively 'drowning' before realizing what's happening. We urge you to:

1. Fit reliable smoke detectors
2. Test them regularly

(The recommended test for a smoke detector is once a week. When was the last time you tested yours? If it's battery operated then when did you last check or change the battery?)

Keep safe, check your smoke detectors now.
