Fife HG Fire prevention

Fire prevention

Keep matches away from children.
Never leave a chip pan unattended – should you have to leave the kitchen, make sure the heat has been turned off.
Do not hang clothes over or around fires, heaters or cookers.
At night close all the doors in your home – if a fire should start, this simple action can give you additional time to get out of your home.
Plan your escape and make sure your family understand it.
Your home is fitted with a smoke detector – you should ensure that it is operational by testing it regularly. If you have a problem with a smoke detector, please contact us and we will make arrangements for it to be checked.

Get everyone out of your home.
Call the Fire Brigade on 999.
Close all doors and windows (if it’s possible to do so safely).
If your chip pan catches fire, switch off the cooker and try to smother the flames with a damp towel or large lid.
