DORSET’S fire brigade is offering free home visits to ensure your home is safe.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service (DWFRS) offers residents the chance to have their home tested to make sure it is as fire-safe as possible.

Each check will include the testing of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors where required.

A spokesperson for the DWFRS said: “We offer free safe and well visits, where an advisor will come to your home (all Covid-19 secure) and help you make it as fire-safe as possible.

“We'll even fit smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors where needed. Call 0800 038 2323 or visit our website.”
