The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service provides free Home Fire Safety Checks to local residents, which include guidance on fire safety awareness, smoke alarms, and escape routes. Although we respond to all requests for these checks, we prioritize and target groups that our data identifies as having a higher risk of experiencing accidental dwelling fires. These groups include single-parent families, elderly individuals, and those living in homes of multiple occupations. We consistently focus on conducting Home Fire Safety Checks for these groups.
