Cambridgeshire Fire Brigade says check your smoke alarms

By Chris Elliott….

Recently, I accidentally triggered my home’s smoke alarm while cooking sausages without proper ventilation. Since my property also has a security monitoring system that I didn’t respond to in time, the Dogsthorpe Fire Brigade ended up visiting to make sure everything was alright.

Having subscribed to a Newsletter from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service, I received a reminder to check my Smoke Alarms, and as it is so important, I decided to share this with our readers.

It’s time to check your smoke alarms!

Make sure you check every alarm in your home.

Online home safety check

Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service

“We have an online home safety check that you can fill in to make sure you’re keeping your home fire safe.

Using our online home safety check, you can carry out your own fire risk assessment to make sure you are keeping you and your family safe from fire. Our online tool takes you through some simple questions about you and your home and provides an action plan that you can download and print.

You can carry out a check for yourself, or any family members. Friends, neighbours, registered carers, support workers and partner agencies can all use this tool. In some cases, it may suggest that we attend your property to install safety measures for you.

We also provide free Home Fire Safety visits to vulnerable residents around the county. You can find out if you or a family member or friend are likely to be eligible for a free home fire safety check by calling the automated message line on 0800 917 9994 and leave a message including the person’s name, address, and daytime phone number to receive a call back.”
