Electrical items can overheat & cause a fire. Remember:

🔌Switch off electrical items when not in use
🔌Check for frayed wires to ensure they’re safe to use
🔌Don’t overload sockets or plug an extension lead into another extension
🔌Never run appliances when you’re asleep

One of the best ways you can protect your loved ones 🩷 in your home 🏡is by having a working smoke alarm. It should be tested weekly and always have an escape plan in place.

Test it today.
