East Sussex Fire Brigade News - Save Safely!
With winter rain and chills sweeping in and people starting to think about different ways to save money, East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service has launched a new safety drive - Save Safely.
The Service has gathered together a few ideas which you might want to consider. Not only could these save you a few pennies, they will help reduce the chances of a fire which in itself can be expensive, disruptive and distressing.
Check out the support available. Did you know the Service can help with free advice, specialist safety equipment and even smoke alarms?
Switch off at night! If you're asleep you are much less likely to spot a small problem (smoke coming from a socket) before it becomes a fire. Before you go to bed, or go out, check the living room, the kitchen, your bedroom and so on and switch off! You can save energy this way too!
Close doors. It's amazing how much heat can disappear out the door, and by keeping doors shut, you also reduce the chance of fires spreading from room to room.
