Community Safety

How safe is your home from fire?

Home Fire Safety Checks - 0800 169 0320Find out if your home is fire safe by phoning Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service and requesting a free home safety visit.

Our service is both free and confidential and available to everyone. To arrange a visit, or for any information on Fire Safety, phone free on 0800 169 0320.

Last year there were over 1100 dwelling fires across the Lothian and Borders area and as a result, over 114 people were killed or injured. Fires do happen, and not always to other people.

At Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service, we’re doing our best to stop fires in the home by offering free Home Safety Visits across in the Lothian and Borders area. During the Home Safety Visit, firefighters, who work in pairs, will advise you on Fire Safety matters such as the safe use of electrical appliances, smokers materials and candles as well as highlighting the potential hazards of cooking . The firefighters will also stress the importance of having a working smoke alarm and will supply and fit, free smoke detectors, complete with ten year batteries, if you need them.

Museum of Fire - Open for the next two weekends (23/24 & 30/31 August 08.  For further information ...
