Thankfully most people will never experience a house fire in their lifetime.
However, with a rise in incidents in our homes over the past 12 months, I've stopped by from our fire safety team with some top tips to keep you and your family as safe as possible.
Here are five easy ways to boost your fire safety:
Extension cables, multi-point sockets, and adapter plugs. All very convenient but do you know their limit?
The general rule to remember is: if your appliance has a heater or a motor, one plug for one socket.
Think you might have too many plugged in? Use the interactive tool below.
Most of us use an alarm on our smartphone to wake up each morning, so why not schedule a weekly or monthly alarm to check your smoke alarms are in good working order?
If you’re unsure how to check your smoke alarms, our friends at Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service explain more here.

Check out these additional tips around barbeque safety for peace of mind.
Whether it is pets, children, or the television, it’s so easy to get distracted when cooking but this can often be a fatal mistake.
It’s always a good idea to regularly clean your oven, cooker hood, extractor fan, and grill as a build-up of fat or grease can ignite and cause a fire.
Most fire services now offer totally free fire safety visits, where you can receive personalised advice about fire safety and even get additional smoke alarms fitted if you need them. These friendly and informal visits are great if you want to boost the safety of your loved ones and if you struggle knowing where to go to book yours, your neighbourhood coach can always help refer you or signpost you to the right place.
