Fire safety in your home

Fire safety in your home

Your home is the place where you should feel the safest.   It is therefore a priority for Birmingham City Council Housing Department to do all we reasonably can to keep you safe.  These pages include lots of useful information to minimise the risk of fire in your home and provides an overview of measures we are taking to keep you safe.

Birmingham City Council fully supports the Governments re-launched  ‘Fire Kills’ Campaign.  Click on the link for full details and a wealth of fire prevention information.

Download a specific guide for staying safe in the home that includes important information on smoke alarms and how to prevent common fires.

Fires can start at any time of the year, but some occasions carry greater risk.  Download the guides for seasonal risks on the GOV.UK website.

Birmingham City Council works closely with West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service and encourage all residents to request a Safe and Well visit if you have concerns on the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service website. 

You can book this directly or get in touch with your Local Housing Team and request a Safe and Well Referral.
