Wandsworth Council will be working with Wandsworth firefighters over the coming months to highlight fire hazards in the home. 

This will include campaigns to encourage families to draw up escape plans in the case of a fire, and information on how to get, and check, smoke alarms. 

The Fire Brigade will pay you a visit at home to provide free fire safety advice, and may fit a free smoke alarm. Book a visit online or call 0800 028 4428.

All the borough’s year 5 pupils learn about common hazards, including fire, by acting out scenarios at the Junior Citizen Scheme. Read more
