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.
