Home fire safety visits

We want you to be safe and sound. We're carrying out free home fire safety visits in your borough.

We'll also fit a free smoke alarm where needed.

If you would like a visit or would like to arrange a free home fire safety visit on behalf of a member of your family or a friend please check with them first and then contact us by:

• calling us free on 08000 28 44 28
• emailing us at smokealarms@london-fire.gov.uk
• faxing us at 020 7587 4222

Fires in the home are the main cause of fire deaths. Our campaign targets vulnerable people at boroughs throughout London where fires and fire deaths are high.

Getting a smoke alarm, regularly testing and maintaining it, as well as planning your escape route in the event of a fire can dramatically decrease the risk of death or serious injury.

Already, hundreds of people across London have called our freephone number or emailed us to request a home fire safety visit.

This booklet 'Fire safety in the home' [ PDF 660kb] has been produced as part of our campaign. It has helpful tips and essential advice on how to improve fire safety and prevent fires starting in your home.

The campaign is part of our drive to make London a safer city by working to prevent the causes of fire. We also want to make sure people have the best chance possible of escaping if fire does break out and firefighters in London know from experience that smoke alarms do save lives by giving people vital early warning.
