A fire can start very easily and spread with frightening speed. With more than 68,000 domestic fires each year, resulting in 400 deaths and 13,800 injuries, it is important to be vigilant and to act responsibly to protect you and those around you from the risk of fire.
When considering fire safety measures, prevention is better than cure. Whether you're at home, at work or outside your home, London Fire Brigade want to help you keep safe from fire.
Always remember, if fire breaks out:
GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL 999 - don't try to fight a fire yourself.
Concerned about a fire risk?
If you're concerned about a fire risk which may be a danger to life you should telephone or visit your local fire and community safety centre during normal office hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Outside these hours, call 999.
These risks may have serious implications and are dealt with quickly and in confidence. A 'risk to life' could include a disregard for fire safety practices,for example,blocked or locked fire exits.
