Conducting a Routine Fire Safety Check

A Routine Fire Safety Check consists of a simple walk around your house before going to bed, keeping an eye out for obvious dangers.

A Fire Safety Check will only take a couple of minutes, but it could mean the difference between life and death.

On your check, make sure to do the following:

• Unplug all unnecessary electrical appliances
• Turn off all unnecessary gas appliances
• Make sure all candles and naked flames are extinguished
• Place a spark guard in front of any fire place
• Empty all ashtrays
• Ensure all escape routes are completely clear of obstructions
• Close all doors to reduce the spread of fire and smoke
