Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service is asking residents to regularly check their smoke alarms are working, as part of the Fire Kills smoke alarm campaign.
The campaign, which runs throughout October, urges people to test their smoke alarms, after figures showed that 28 per cent of smoke alarms failed to operate in fires in 2020-21.
There were 208 fire-related deaths in the home in the year ending March 2022. The Fire Kills campaign hopes that by encouraging everyone to regularly test their smoke alarms more deaths could be prevented.
