Fire safety and prevention
Fire can kill. It can also destroy or damage your home. There are some simple things you can do to prevent a fire from starting.
Keeping you safe
One of the easiest ways to prevent a fire is to follow the ‘STOP Fire’ message:
- S – smoke alarms - make sure you have smoke alarms on every floor of your home
- T – test those smoke alarms weekly to make sure they’re working
- O – obvious dangers - be aware of obvious dangers in your home
- P – plan your escape route should a fire start
Home fire safety check
The NIFRS provides advice you can use to see how safe your home is. It will help you to identify any danger points around your home. If you are concerned about fire safety in your home, you can ask for a free home fire safety check.
