Winter Safety
With winter just around the corner, we want people to stay safe both at home and on the roads. Chimney fires are a risk as people start to warm up their homes and drivers are urged to make sure their vehicles are safe for the winter months.
Get your chimney ready for the winter
With the colder, winter months looming, people will begin to start using open fires and their chimneys again. In order to keep you and your family safe from fire, you need to take necessary steps such as ensuring your chimney is swept regularly, depending upon what fuel you burn and we would urge all householders to have a working smoke alarm in their home.
