Home Safety during this Covid-19 Pandemic

With people staying home, it's now more important than ever for everyone to be fire-safe.

So, if you're working from home, please check your workspace set-up to ensure plugs aren't overloaded. Overloading electrical outlets may cause fire.

Make sure your heating source is at least a meter away from everything - including other people, laundry and furniture.

Keep your cooking surfaces free from grease and please - never, ever leave pans unattended on the stove top.

A house fire can kill in five minutes - go over an escape plan with everyone in your household.

At times like this it's really important to look after each other.

So please also check in with vulnerable family members and neighbours.

Do what you can to help them with their own fire safety preparations, as long as you can do so safely, following the advice about physical distancing on covid19.

Our top priority is to keep your people and our people safe.

Together we can prevent both the spread of Covid-19 and the often-devastating consequences of household fires.

Stay Safe and remember to wash your hands and sanitize regularly.
