We all enjoy the sunshine, but to reduce the risk of fire, please keep mirrors, glass decorations and similar items out of direct sunlight and away from areas where the sun can reflect off them onto flammable materials.

How do you plug in?
Don't run washing machines or dryers while you are asleep. Unplug phone chargers overnight and do not overload sockets. One socket, one pug.
@DeptHousingIRL@JamesBrowneTD#FireSafetyIRE#STOPfire
Don’t leave devices charging on a bed or couch. Charge phones, laptops etc. on a hard surface with plenty of ventilation around them. Never leave them charging overnight.

Are you deaf or experiencing hearing loss? Do you have
a specialist smoke alarm system in your home?
If smoke is detected, a vibrating pad placed under your pillow will alert you, whilst a bright strobe light activates to ensure you’re aware it’s been trigged.
Smoke Alarms Save Lives. Change the battery when you hear the chirp and check the date on the alarm as they only last ten years.
Test it today. No Smoke Alarm - No Chance.
