Is your house or flat fire safe?
One of our congregation recently attended a talk given by Hughie Riddell who is the Crew Commander of Green Watch West Midlands Fire Service.
The West Midlands Fire Service is very concerned that people’s homes are not as safe as they should be. If you telephone 0800 389 5525 or email contact.centre@wmfs.net then they will arrange an appointment with you to conduct a safety check in your home. This will be carried out by local firefighters. The firefighters will also fit a smoke alarm if you do not have one already. The check and the smoke alarm are entirely FREE. The smoke alarms fitted by the fire service are sealed units. The battery is non-removable, so the battery cannot be “borrowed” for another use thus rendering the smoke alarm useless. They will also come and replace when the battery is running low. I repeat all this is free.
