Aspects of the Fire Safety Check

 
Fire safety is about many different aspects. Below you find a number of examples. After the check you discuss with our expert about the results and about priorities. Action needed? If yes, which action to take first.

• Is the number plate of your house visible for a fire brigade, also even in the dark?
• Do you know the tap where the fire engine should get the water?
• Is it possible to open the front door from the inside without a key?
• Are the main switches for gas, electricity and water known and easy to access?
• Has the central heating system been checked and cleaned every year?
• Are the fuses, switches and sockets in good order?
• Is the electrical system protected by means of an earth leakage circuit breaker?
• Are all electrical wires undamaged and protected adequately?
• Is the air tube of the dryer clean?
• Is the gas tube of the stove in good condition?
• Is no more than 3,520 watts connected to any single group?
• Has the chimney been checked and cleaned every year?
• Are smoke detectors installed, especially near bedrooms?

The MrFix Fire Safety Check is not mandatory like the one for your car, but it simply makes sense. For example, to:

• Let you and your family sleep easily
• Keep your building and contents insurance valid. Property insurers often require proof of regular maintenance such as sweeping of chimneys or annual checks & maintenance of the central heating system. Keeping earth leakage switches working can also play a role in the assessment of damage claims.
