Things you can do to keep your home safe
During the last year, there have been eight accidental house fires in the homes of settle residents. Thankfully no lives were lost, but the distress and disruption has had a big impact on the households and neighbours involved. Greasy cookers, overloaded electric sockets and electrical gadgets that may not be from reputable manufacturers are quite often the main causes of fire.
