Did you know smoke alarms have an expiry date?

If you check the side of your alarm, you will see a sticker listing the date it must be replaced by. All alarms have a 10 year lifespan.

Check yours is in date and keep your family's safety up to date.

Test it Tuesday

Ensure your smoke alarm works well by:
1. Testing it every Tuesday
2. Changing the battery when needed and never borrow batteries.
3. Cleaning the casing every six months.
4. Replacing the alarm every ten years.

The days are getting shorter and there’s a chill in the air at times!

Before the nights really close in, take the time to clean your chimney before you start lighting open fires or stoves.

You should clean your chimney at least twice over the winter period to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
