Between June 2020 and June 2021, the Fire and Rescue Service attended nearly 150,000 house fires in England, resulting in 249 fatalities. Smoke alarms are crucial for keeping you safe by alerting you to fire risks. To ensure maximum protection, there should be at least one smoke alarm per floor, with a heat detector in the kitchen. It’s essential to have enough alarms to cover all potential fire areas. Test your smoke alarms weekly and replace them every 10 years or sooner if indicated.
