July 25, 2016Test your smoke alarms monthly. Last year over 200 people died in fires in the home. You’re at least 4 times more likely to die in a fire in the home if there’s no working smoke alarm.
When you test your smoke alarms, you could test the smoke alarms of an older family member, neighbour or friend who needs help.
It only takes a moment to test and gives your family and people you care about a better chance of surviving a fire.

You can be fined up to £5,000 if you don’t fit all the alarms required.
You must test every alarm at the start of a new tenancy.
You might be able to get free smoke and carbon monoxide alarms from your local fire service.
