Home Safety Check

As part of our commitment to making West Midlands safer, we offer a free service where WMFS personnel will carry out a free home safety check

The service will be a tailored approach that is flexible enough to deliver to the needs of the most vulnerable individuals in our community, whilst maintaining our emphasis on Fire Safety. Our aims are:

  • Identify and engage with vulnerable members of our community.
  • Targeting our services in the community to reduce the risks and improve safety, health and wellbeing.
  • Engage with community groups, to make our communities safer.
  • Empower our communities to make decisions about their safety.

The home safety check will take about half an hour of your time. WMFS personnel will check your home and give you fire safety advice in order to keep you safe from fire and also fit a free smoke alarm(s), if required.

Visits will be by appointment only and will be arranged at a convenient time to suit you.

WMFS personnel may be wearing uniforms but all will be carrying identification cards. Please ask to see the identification card, and if you require confirmation telephone the Free phone Helpline on 0800 389 5525.

Home Safety Checks are free - your safety is our concern.
