Protect your home while your away
Switch off and unplug unnecessary equipment. Most freezers, fridges and video recorders are designed to be left on safely but if you don't have any of those, switch the electricity off at the mains.
Turn the water off at the mains. Water from a leaking pipe or overflowing cistern could short out electrical wiring and cause a fire.
Close down the gas supply at the mains unless you have gas-powered appliances which need to be left on.
Let a neighbor know you are going away and leave a key with them.
Close all doors and windows, especially the internal doors so if fire breaks out its spread will be slowed down.
Check your smoke alarm(s).
