Fire Safety - What can you do?

Make sure cigarettes are extinguished and disposed of properly.
Test your smoke detector regularly
Make sure your door and window keys are easy to get to
Know how to isolate your gas, electric and water supply and report any repairs immediately on 0330 123 0700

Please make sure your home contents are insured.
