Stay safe this Christmas

Some sage seasonal advice from Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service:

MAKE SURE:

  • Smoke detectors are working
  • Christmas tree lights conform to the British Standard
  • Decorations are kept away from naked flames.

DON’T:

  • Drink too much. Alcohol and smoking increase your risk of a house fire
  • Leave cooking unattended; it’s a common cause of house fires
  • Leave Christmas lights on overnight or when the house is empty.

To book a Home Safety Visit by local firefighters and fitting of a free smoke detector call 0800 169 0320
