The gift of Fire Safety

  1. Home fire alarm installation

The best gift you can give Mum during this special day is ensuring her of a safe home. A home fire alarm is one of the most important investments you can make to give her peace of mind. Photoelectric smoke alarms have been proven to give faster and more accurate fire warnings compared to ionisation fire alarms. With these devices installed in her home, she’ll be more secure about her fire safety.

 

With all the superwoman things she needs to do around the house on the daily, she might not have the time to regularly check if everything is working as they should. Take time to check if the alarms in her home are functioning properly. It’s also the perfect time to call the experts to see if her home fire alarms are aligned with the new QLD smoke alarm legislation.

  1. Check the house for items that could cause a fire

Seemingly innocent items around the home could be potential fire starters. Hire a professional electrician to check the house for faulty wiring. It is also advised to invest in the correct fuses and fire safety switches.

 

Cooking can bring friends and families together, but did you know that cooking equipment is one of the prime causes of home fire emergencies? Make sure that Mum has a fire safe kitchen. Check the way the kitchen is structured. Are the curtains too close to the stove? Are there any other items near the stove that could potentially catch fire?

 

  1. Check door locks

Apart from inspecting wiring and home fire alarms, it is also advisable to check door locks. Some locks could impede evacuation during fire emergencies. Make sure that locks are not only set up to keep criminals out but to also allow for your Mum and family’s safe and fast evacuation.
