Staying fire safe at home starts with simple, everyday precautions.
This section brings together essential fire safety advice, from cooking, candles, and chip pans to heaters, log burners, e‑scooters, blankets, wiring, and more that you can adopt.
Even if the measures detailed in this section cost a few hundred pounds, compared to the lives of you and your family and the impact on your home, your insurance premiums, the hours of fire service and insurance company time and the associated emotional damage, they are a steal!
Stay one step ahead and keep your home safe!
