What is a home fire safety visit?

Anyone who lives in the Cleveland Fire Brigade area is eligible for a free home fire safety visit or free smoke alarms. The Cleveland Fire Brigade area includes the four borough councils of:

 

Hartlepool

Middlesbrough

Redcar & Cleveland

Stockton on Tees

 

If you live outside these areas you are still eligible for a home fire safety visit, but it will be undertaken by another Fire and Rescue Service.

 

We will visit you at home to offer advice on how to make your home safe and where appropriate fit a smoke alarm for free. We will also show you how to prepare an escape plan to get you and your family out of the house safely in the event of a fire. Visits are arranged at your convenience between 9.30am to 12.30pm, 2.00pm to 4.30pm or 5.30pm to 8.00pm on any day including Saturdays, Sunday, Public and Bank Holidays.

 

Who is eligible?

We target our visits in areas and situations where we know there is a higher risk of fire, including the homes of older or disabled people, but anyone living in the Cleveland area can request a free home fire safety visit.

 

Why request a visit?

If you are concerned your home may be at risk of fire or know someone who you think needs our help then please arrange a visit.
