The new tool, which was developed through a partnership between the National Fire Chiefs Council and Safelincs, is designed to be used by people from the comfort of their own home to check for unknown fire risks.
The tool asks the person a number of questions about their home and their life before providing them with personalised, dedicated safety advice for their home and for the people they live with.
Nikki Rice, Prevention and Protection Manager at AF&RS, said: “December is a busy time of year for many people, but I’d encourage everyone to find ten minutes to complete our short checker so that you know the risks in your home and find out how to reduce them.”
In December 2021, Avon Fire & Rescue attended 55 fires in homes across the region.
Nikki added: “Ultimately, we want to keep everyone safe this Christmas, and we’re providing this easy-to-use tool to allow everyone to access they safety advice they need this December.”
You can take the short questionnaire to keep your home fire safe here.
