Everyone has the right to feel safe and secure in their home. Here are our recommendations to ensure fire safety in the home;
PAL Recommendations for Home Fire Safety Week
- Ensure your landlord has installed the required smoke alarms in your property, that they are safely installed and working correctly
- Where possible, don’t charge items whilst you sleep as this increases the risk of fire
- Ensure your landlord has a valid gas safety certificate (yearly check)
The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) have created a toolkit which covers electrical safety, home heating, etc. Check out the NFCC Home Fire Safety Week 2022 toolkit here
