Fire Safety Policy

12.0    Fire Safety Policy

  • I am committed to minimising all risk of fire in my service.

  • I have an emergency plan in place and I review my procedure yearly.

  • I have a fire blanket beside my cooker.

  • I use fire guards around my fires. I don't have open fireplaces anymore since I had fireplace inserts installed.

  • I have smoke detectors in the play room, the dining room, and the utility room as well as on the landing and combined smoke & carbon monoxide detectors in each of the four bedrooms of my house (this includes the children's sleeping area) and the small hall at the back of my house.

  • I have powder and C02 Fire extinguishers on the bottom floor that are out of reach of the children.

  • I have successfully completed a Fire Safety, Prevention and Evacuation course offering practical experience of fire tackling techniques, awareness of fire fighting equipment, and practical advice on evacuation procedures.
