Home Fire Safety Checks

A Home Fire Safety Check is a free visit to your home by Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service and its partners. During the visit we will provide advice on how to prevent fires and what to do in the event of a fire. This will last approximately 30 minutes. As part of this service, smoke alarms may be fitted and subsequent maintenance and replacement of these becomes the responsibility of the homeowner.
