With the arrival of cold weather, we all want to keep our homes warm and cozy. But with heating equipment being a leading cause of house fires in Lancashire over winter, it’s essential to prioritise your safety. The good news? A few simple precautions can help you enjoy the season without worry. In this room-by-room guide, we’ll walk through the most common heating risks and how to address them, to help you stay safe and warm this winter.
Living Room The living room is often where families gather during winter, making it a prime location for heating appliances and fireplaces.
Bedroom Keeping bedrooms warm is a must for restful sleep, but it’s crucial to do so safely.
Kitchen The kitchen may seem warm and inviting, but using cooking appliances as heat sources is a dangerous mistake.
Bathroom Bathrooms are often chilly in winter, leading many to use portable heaters for extra warmth. While this can be effective, it requires caution.
Utility Room Your home’s heating system likely resides in boiler cupboard or utility area. Keeping this space safe is critical for your entire household.
