Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS)

Safety in the home

Don't let yourself or your loved ones be the next victim of fire. Follow our simple steps and reduce the risk:

• Fit a working smoke alarm
• Take care when cooking and never leave cooking food unattended
• Plan and practice your escape route
• Make a bedtime check
• Don't overload sockets
• Put cigarettes right out
• Use candles carefully
• Have your chimney swept regularly

We offer free home safety visits, subject to eligibility. The call takes no longer than five minutes, after which you may be offered a home safety visit.

The visit takes less than 30 minutes; we provide advice and fit a free smoke detector if required.

Make sure you are not the next victim of fire.
