Back to Fire Safety in the Home

Cabhróidh an réamhchúram seo a leanas leat chun an baol dóiteáin a laghdú i do sheomra leapa:

  • Never smoke in the bedroom - it is one of the most dangerous fire hazards
  • Check electric blankets regularly for wear and damage, and ensure they are used according to the manufacturer's instructions
  • Switch off and unplug all appliances before going to bed
  • Ensure that all doors that safeguard your means of escape are closed before you retire for the night
  • Candles should be put in a proper holder that won't fall over. They need to be put on a heat-resistant surface. Candles should not be left unattended in a room
  • Have a torch or flashlight near your bed for light in case of an emergency
  • Use only certified mobile phone chargers
  • Never keep your mobile phone under the covers or a pillow particularly when charging
  • Hair straighteners, curling tongs and hair dryers can start fires
  • Never cover bulbs with material
  • Use energy saving low heat bulbs. Exposed bulbs give off a lot of heat
