Fire safety

A house fire can kill – and put your neighbours’ lives at risk.

A free home fire safety visit is quick and easy to arrange. It only takes around 20 minutes to carry out – but it could save your life.

You'll get tips and advice on how to keep you safe in your home and avoid a fire breaking out – and what to do if it does. You'll even get free extra smoke alarms if you need them.

A team from Scottish Fire and Rescue Service will pop out at a time which suits you and answer any questions you have about fire safety. Find out more at home fire safety visit.
