Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – Home Fire Safety Visits
A Home Fire Safety Visit is carried out by our staff for people at the highest risk of experiencing a fire in the home. These visits aim to support people to live more safely by working with them to reduce their risk of fire. During a visit, we can also help to address other risks of unintentional injury.
During your visit, we will provide:
- identification of potential fire risks in your home
- information about bedtime routines
- help creating a robust escape plan
- advice and testing of smoke alarms
Where applicable, we will also provide:
- onward referral to our partners for further support and advice (with your permission)
- the installation of smoke alarms in line with Scottish legislation
Our online Home Fire Safety Questionnaire helps to assess the level of risk within your home. At the end of the questionnaire, and if you are eligible, you will be offered a in-person Home Fire Safety Visit. Click here: Home Fire Safety Visit – SFRS
If you’re not eligible, we will provide you with a downloadable Fire Safety Plan. This will contain personalised fire safety advice and information.
