Fire alarms
To help keep you and your family safe most homes are fitted with a heat detector in the kitchen and a smoke detector in the hallway.
Providing an early warning in the event of a fire, they give you vital time to ‘get out, stay out and call 999’, but they need to be looked after and checked regularly to make sure they're working properly.
How to test your fire alarms
West Midlands Fire Service recommends testing your fire alarms once a week by pressing the button in the centre. If it beeps, it's working. If it doesn't, it will need replacing.
If you believe your fire alarm is faulty, please let us know straight away and we'll arrange for a replacement to be fitted.
