Fire prevention

We believe that in order to make Surrey a safer place to live, every effort must be made to prevent fires in the home. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service attend between 500 and 600 accidental fires in Surrey homes each year.

The causes of these fires vary but, in the vast majority of cases, can be attributed to human error, where someone has either made a mistake or forgotten to carry out a simple task. Often these mistakes are caused by misunderstanding the nature of the fire hazards in your home.
