🏠❤️ SOMEONE YOU KNOW MAY NEED YOUR HELP!

As part of Fire Safety Week 2026, today's focus is on Know the Person, recognising that some people in our communities may need additional support to stay safe from fire.

An older relative, a neighbour living alone or someone with reduced mobility may face additional risks in the event of a fire.

🔥 A few simple actions can make a big difference:

👥 Check in on older relatives, neighbours and anyone who may need additional support.

🚨 Help them test their smoke alarms and make sure they're working.

👂 Consider specialist smoke alarms for anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing.

🚪 Talk about how they would escape safely in the event of a fire.

❤️ Offer practical help where needed, while supporting their independence.

Sometimes, a simple conversation could make all the difference.

🔥🍳 NEVER PUT WATER ON AN OIL FIRE! 🍳🔥

A cooking oil fire can develop rapidly, and using water to extinguish it can cause burning oil to spread violently, resulting in serious injuries.

🚨 If a cooking oil fire breaks out:

❌ NEVER throw water onto the flames.

❌ NEVER attempt to move a burning pan.

🔥 If it's safe to do so, turn off the heat without reaching over the flames.

🚪 Get everyone out, closing the kitchen door behind you if safe.

📞 Call 999 or 112 and ask for the Fire Service.

⚠️ Never put yourself at risk trying to fight a fire.

During Fire Safety Week 2026, take a moment to check the potential fire hazards in your kitchen.
