Your responsibilities to keep your home fire safe

  • Keep your home fire safe. Do not do anything that could start a fire in your home or communal areas

  • Do not keep mobility scooters in shared areas
  • Do not leave rubbish or bulky items for disposal in shared areas, even if you are moving out
  • Do not smoke in shared areas
  • Do not keep anything flammable, such as petrol or gas bottles, inside your home or communal areas
