The Fire and Rescue Service in Dorset have plans to offer free home safety checks at the residences of the people living in the county to help the residents in West Dorset to reduce and try and eliminate any dangers of fire in the home.
The free verification is to make certain that every home in the region has sufficient, properly located, smoke alarms that are functioning correctly, replacing and fitting what needs to be replaced free of cost if necessary, conducting an examination to ensure that all electrical gadgets are safe for use, locating any risky activities. They also check to make sure that all the furniture and other household equipments are placed in the right positions. The team of advisors would also look into the electrical sockets to see whether they are taking more loads that they can actually take on and they would also have a discussion with the inmates in the house regarding secure means of escape if anything untoward should happen.
Those home owners who might be interested in getting a complete free check done in their homes can request for it by calling 01305-252600 or by filling in the new registration form via the Internet that can be availed of at dorsetfire.gov.uk. Two year ago this services had to attend 468 accidental fires in the homes.
