Keeping Fire Safe this winter
With fairy lights going up in many homes, it is a good opportunity to think about fire safety and keeping yourselves and your neighbours safe.
We give information on safety on this website, and remind you to always follow good practice, including not overloading sockets. If you are using portable heaters to help with the cold weather, please ensure that they are safe - we recommend a modern fan heater.
Please be a good neighbour - if you hear a fire alarm sounding in a property nearby, especially at an unusual hour - check on your neighbours and see if they need any assistance.
Did you know you can book a free Home Fire Safety Visit? An officer from the London Fire Brigade will visit the property to make checks and offer advice on fire safety in your home. You can book this for yourself, or for a friend or relative who you think may benefit from assistance. Visit their website to book directly.
