Bedtime Routine

You are more at risk from a fire when asleep. So it's a good idea to check your home before you go to bed. Use this quick check list to keep your home safer from fire:

• Close inside doors at night to stop a fire from spreading.

• Turn off and unplug electrical appliances unless they are designed to be left on - like your freezer.

• Check your cooker is turned off

• Don't leave the washing machine on

• Turn heaters off and put up fireguards

• Put candles and cigarettes out properly

• Make sure exits are kept clear

• Keep door and window keys where everyone can find them
