Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) have launched Home Fire Safety Assessments (HFSA), which are targeted home fire safety interventions.
To support HFSA a new Online Home Fire Safety Check (OHFSC) tool is available, which households can use to help identify fire hazards in their home. The tool also suggests changes that can be easily made to reduce the risk of a fire.
Partner agencies across Greater Manchester can also use the tool to make a third-party referral to GMFRS, and training is available to partners to explain the process and how to use the online tool.
A toolkit has been developed to encourage partners to support the promotion of the Online Home Fire Safety Check, the Home Fire Safety Assessment process and signpost to the fire safety advice on the GMFRS website.
