Referring someone for a visit

If you know someone over the age of 50, who smokes and either lives alone, has mobility issues or uses medical oxygen, we need your help to identify them.

Ask them to get in touch or if you are a family member or a carer, refer them to us. We will undertake a home fire safety visit where possible. Make the Call, it could save a life.

Members of other emergency services, health and social care partnerships and other third sector organisations can make referrals through our online portal.
