Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service provide fire safety advice to everyone. A free Home Fire Safety Visit (HFSV) can be carried out for the more vulnerable such as the elderly, people living alone and those with reduced mobility.

We have learnt that visiting people in their own homes to make sure they have working smoke alarms and a good level of fire safety awareness prevents fires and saves lives.

A HFSV is a FREE home safety visit that is tailored to an individual’s needs.

The visit includes a home safety check to help reduce the risk of fire in the home, including the checking and fitting of smoke alarms where required. This includes alarms suitable for those with a hearing impairment as well as giving advice on a fire escape plan. 

If you require any further information regarding a HFSV or if you would like to see if you qualify for a visit, please contact us on  0800 032 1155  or visit www.hwfire.org.uk to complete an online home safety check HFSC (safelincs.co.uk).
