Smoke safety

Sadly just over half of house fire fatalities we attend involve discarded smoking materials.

Smoking safety advice

• smoke outdoors
• never smoke in bed
• stub it out properly and dispose of carefully, use ashtrays and empty the cooled contents to an outside bin regularly
• never leave lit cigarettes or cigars unattended

E-cigarettes

• Never leave on charge or in a USB point unattended or overnight – they can ignite and cause fire.
• Replace the batteries in your vape if they get damaged or wet
• Store loose batteries for your vape in a case. Keep these away from metal objects such as coins and keys.
• Protect your vape from extreme temperatures
• Always use the correct charger for your vape.
• Make sure you read and understand the manufacturer’s recommendations for use and care of your device
