Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service
Home Fire Safety Checks.
The Community Safety Department aims to keep people safe in their homes and when they are out and about in Northumberland.
As part of a large, collaborative team that includes Community Risk and Response Officers, the Community Safety Department works proactively to prevent incidents through a wide range of community engagement initiatives. These include Home Fire Safety Checks, educational programs in schools and local communities, and efforts to address anti-social behaviour through targeted education.
​
The team is dedicated to providing education, information, advice, and guidance that empower Northumberland residents to stay safe, healthy, and informed.
Home Fire Safety Check
This easy-to-follow home fire safety check has been developed through a partnership between the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), Fire Kills and Safelincs. It will take you through your home one room at a time and the simple questions will help you spot fire risks as you go around your home.
​
The tool will offer tips and advice on the steps you can take to reduce those risks. At the end, you will receive a personalised fire safety action plan to help keep you and your household safe from fire.
