Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service Industrial action by the Fire Brigades Union members begins at 7am today. We have issued a ten point plan for safety at home, at work and on the road: • Check smoke alarms to make sure they are working • Make sure your family know what to do to escape from a fire in your home • Most domestic fires start in the kitchen so take extra care and don’t leave pans unattended • Avoid late night cooking sessions after drinking alcohol • Turn off electric appliances and power points after use • Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children • Check your car tyres regularly • Don’t use a mobile phone while driving. It’s dangerous and illegal • Close internal doors to stop fire spreading • Businesses: Service your alarm systems regularly to avoid false alarms. 5 days 18 min ago.
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service Working smoke alarms save lives! Do your smoke alarms work? Push the button and hear the beep! Smoke alarms should be fitted: • To the ceiling, • One per level of your home, and • In circulation areas (hallways and landings) that form part of your escape route). • According to manufacturer’s instructions. • Smoke Alarms should be fitted at least 30 cm (12") away from any wall or light fitting and close to the center of the room. Care should be taken to fit them where you can hear them particularly when you are asleep. A simple maintenance plan will ensure that your smoke alarm(s) continues to protect your family. Test smoke alarms weekly (generally by pushing the button, but check on your manufacturer’s instructions for how to test). Gently remove dust and dirt from inside the casing and on the cover. The soft brush attachment of your vacuum can be used. 5 days 14 hours ago.
