Home Risk Assessment
What is a home fire risk assessment?
A Home Fire Risk Assessment is where members of your local Fire and Rescue Service will visit your home, at a time convenient to yourself, and carry out an inspection of your home.
When you book a home fire risk assessment, firefighters will visit your home at an allocated time and accompany you around every room in your property with the aim of:
- Identifying and making you aware of the potential fire risks in your home
- Making sure you know what to do in order to reduce or prevent these risks
- Helping you put together an escape plan in case a fire breaks out in the future
- Ensuring you have a working smoke alarm and if you don't, you may qualify for and they will fit FREE a ten year smoke alarm.
- You will not be sold anything
The visit may be carried out by firefighters who are operational, so don't be surprised if a fire engine arrives at your home, or a dedicated team from the local Fire and Rescue Service. You do however need to be aware that a fire appliance can be called away at a moment's notice as it is still part of operational resources within your area. They will of course call back, or arrange another date if needed.
Please note: All Fire and Rescue personnel who visit your home will carry photo identification. If you are concerned, you can telephone your local Fire and Rescue Service to check they are genuine. You will not be asked for any money, so be aware of callers offering to carry out the above for a small charge, they will be bogus.
