FREE Safe and Well Visits

Did you know Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service offers FREE Safe and Well visits?

This is a free home fire safety visit, tailored to an individual’s needs, that supports members of our community to help protect them and their homes from fire.

The purpose of the visit is to ensure that you are aware of potential hazards within the home and can take appropriate actions. The visit is not to judge your lifestyle but to keep you safe from fire.

What Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service will do:
🔴 Arrange a convenient time to visit
🔴 Talk about the main causes of fire in the home
🔴 Test smoke alarms
🔴 Discuss points to consider when making a home fire escape plan
🔴 Give advice on the action to be taken in the event of a fire
🔴 Fit smoke alarms where appropriate and in accordance with our policy

There are several lifestyle questions that we will ask, and dependent on your answers, and if we have your consent, we can refer you to agencies that can give you further advice and support, for example:

🔵How often do you get out for social engagements?
🔵How often do you receive social visitors/family/friends?
🔵Would you like someone to contact you to assess and give advice on a range of services that could help you?

If you feel this something that would be useful for yourself, or indeed you are aware of a friend or relative that would benefit from a visit, please book your free, safe and well visit by calling:
