So many people don’t realise the importance of closing all internal doors at night.

A standard domestic door, will give several minutes protection from a fire on the other side of the door.

Sleep with internal doors open ? The smoke from a fire in your house will kill you long before the fire gets to you.

Sleep well.

Happy Easter

Well, that's mine done.

What am I talking about ?

Every year, on New Year's day, I replace the batteries in my smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. It doesn't matter if they are battery powered or mains powered, the batteries should be replaced proactively, so that you know they will work if you need them to.

Don't wait for the annoying beep at 3 o'clock in the morning, why does that always happen at 3 o'clock in the morning ? 🤔

It doesn't have to be on New Year's day, that's just the date I've picked, but choose a date in the year, it may be a birthday or anniversary, it doesn't matter, as long as it is a date you will remember.

Smoke detectors should be replaced at 10 years old, if you can't remember how old your detectors are, or if you inherited the detectors, and there is no indication of age on the units, change them.

This family possibly thought it would never happen to them, like so many do.

And then it does.

Test your smoke alarms at home. Do it now. If you don’t know how to test them, let me know and I will help you, but test them, today.

RIP

Fire crews said they tried to find the children inside the burning house.

Is your fire alarm ready for reopening ?

“Primark in Westfield Stratford has had to close for the day because of a problem with the fire alarm. Lots of shoppers being turned away. Must be frustrating for the staff too, who'd put so much effort into reopening.”

Doing your Christmas shopping? Double check you have all the batteries you need for gifts, don't be tempted to remove them from smoke alarms - you might not live to regret it!
