With the recent event in London where 6 people died how many of you have checked your smoke detectors?

You should have a smoke detector on every level of your house ie downstairs hallway, and upstairs landing. I have gone further and added one in the laundry room and one in each of the kidz bedrooms.

No matter how well little Tommy is trained one day he will play with matches whether out in the park with mates or his bedroom You did so why should he be any different.

Remember at night shut down stairs doors to stop fire spread. each door should hold back for for up to 30 minutes, and if the downstairs smoke alarm sounds with all the doors closed you should be able to get out by going straight down the stairs and out the front door.

Have an escape plan!!!!

if you cant get down the stairs what are you going to do?

We all meet in the front bedroom. This is where we can climb out the window onto a roof or close the door and stay safe.

Remember to have a phone upstairs to contact emergency services.

Ensure you all know what to do. and how you will get out.

Your local fire service will come to your house and help you plan an escape route and check / replace for FREE!! yes FREE!!! all your smoke detectors.

Please post below if you have any further questions.
