Fire Safety for the Home

In Leicestershire, there were 4649 fires in the home last year.

Most fires which happen in the home start accidentally. By following a few basic steps you can stop these fires from happening - you are responsible for fire safety in your home.

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service have just increased the number of Community Service Advisors we employ so we can extend our Home Fire Safety Check Service into more rural areas. Click here to read more.
