Next week is UK Home Safety Week and the police are working with Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) to identify any vulnerable local residents who might benefit from a free home safety visit. This includes installing up to two smoke detectors per property, offering fire safety advice specific to the house and the occupant’s lifestyle, and carrying out an informal risk assessment of the home to point out any fire hazards and offering solutions to reduce the identified risks.

If you think you might be entitled to a home safety visit or perhaps know an older person, a family member or neighbour, who would benefit from this service, HFRS is keen to hear from you.
To find out more call 023 8062 6809 or email community.firesafety@hantsfire.gov.uk.
