At BFRS, your safety is our top priority. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Online Home Fire Safety Check – a quick, free, and easy-to-use tool designed to help you make your home safer from fire hazards.
Taking around 15 minutes to complete, this online tool gives you personalised advice tailored to your home environment.
It covers key areas like:
- Working smoke alarms and placement.
- Planning safe escape routes for emergencies.
- Identifying potential fire risks.

Once you’ve completed the check, you’ll receive instant guidance on improving your home’s fire safety. And if the results show that your home is at higher risk of fire, you could be eligible for a free Home Fire Safety Visit by our team.
This service isn’t just for you – if you’re worried about a loved one, you can also use the Online Home Fire Safety Check on their behalf (with their consent).
Can’t use the online form? No problem! You can contact us directly at 01296 744477 or email referrals@bucksfire.gov.uk to discuss your situation and arrange a visit if necessary.
Whether you live in a rented property*, have mobility challenges, or are supporting someone who’s elderly or hard of hearing, our services are designed to make fire safety accessible to everyone.
Take control of your home’s fire safety today. Completing the Online Home Fire Safety Check could give you the peace of mind that your loved ones and your home are as safe as possible.

* Landlords are legally required to provide working smoke alarms at the start of a tenancy and replace them as needed. However, our service offers additional fire safety advice beyond this responsibility.
