Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS)

About

Our vision is to make Greater Manchester a safer place by being a modern, community focused and influential Fire and Rescue Service.

Safe and Well visits

GMFRS wants everyone in Greater Manchester to be safe from fire at home and know how to escape safely if a fire starts. We have learnt visiting people in their own homes to make sure they have working smoke detection and a good level of fire safety awareness prevents fires and saves lives.

A Safe and Well visit is a home visit, at a convenient time for you, carried out by trained GMFRS staff. During the visit we will:

  • Ask a series of fire risk assessment questions about your home environment, your health and abilities, and your daily activities.
  • Check each room of your property to identify any fire hazards.
  • Check you have at least one working smoke alarm on each level of your home.
  • Fit free ten-year smoke alarms as appropriate.
  • Provide you with fire safety advice and show you how to test your smoke alarms.
  • Work with you to agree a fire-safe bedtime routine.
  • Work with you to provide an escape plan for you and your family, so you can escape safely if a fire starts.
  • Provide advice, or link you into organisations that can help you, if you need support with other issues such as health, wellbeing or crime prevention.

To book a safe and well visit just call 0800 555 815.
