We are visiting every flat in the tower blocks to fit a safety notice on the back of the front door. This will explain what to do if a fire occurs. It is in your interest to allow us to fit these when we call.
You can also help protect your home against fires by reviewing Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service’s advice about home fire safety such as regularly checking your flat’s smoke alarm, keeping corridors free, calling 999 quickly if a fire occurs, familiarising yourself with the Stay Put policy in the event of a fire and keeping fire doors closed.
You can also take extra care when cooking to ensure that pans are not left unattended. Double-check that you have turned the heat off and taken the pan off the heat when you have finished cooking.
