Pilning & Severn Beach residents are being reminded of a valuable local service that can make a real difference to household safety.

Avon Fire & Rescue Service offers free Home Safety Visits for elderly and vulnerable people.

During a visit, fire service staff will install brand‑new smoke alarms, provide a carbon monoxide detector and replace older units with modern 10‑year battery alarms at no cost. The service is friendly, practical, and designed to give residents peace of mind.

To book a visit, simply call 01179 262 061 during office hours. If the team is busy, they will call you back.

This is an excellent opportunity to improve safety at home please do share it with neighbours, friends and family who may benefit.
