Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service are committed to the reduction of accidental dwelling fires, as well as deaths and injuries that result from these fires. By identifying the potential for fires in the home, we can effectively prevent many avoidable fires from occurring. The Home Fire Safety Check (HFSC) can be considered a form of fire fighting, “extinguishing” fires before they start. Tough on fire, tough on the causes of fire!
		The Service currently carry out HFSC’s following referrals. To expand on this, the Service has produced an online application form so any Warwickshire resident can apply for a check.
