Living Alone | Home safety

People who live alone are nearly 4 times more likely to die or be seriously injured in a fire. In the past five years alone there have been 741 accidental house fires in properties where the occupier lived alone and was aged 45 plus. Sadly 13 of these fires proved fatal. Throughout the year we will be offering fire safety advice on a range of topics in an attempt to reduce the number of incidents involving people who live alone. #livingalone
We are focusing on home safety advice during this period which includes smoke alarms, preparing an escape plan, bedtime routine and what to do in the event of a fire.
