Keeping You Safe From Fire

We are working in partnership with key organisations to make sure that vulnerable people in Gloucestershire are kept safe from fire.

We are committed to making sure that the right people have access to the right level of help in order to stay safe at home. Research suggests that people with one or more of the following issues are more at risk from fire.

If you, a member of your family, or someone you care for, is considered more at risk of fire, because they are less able to notice or escape to safety when a smoke alarm goes off, then there's extra protection and support available across Gloucestershire.
