RESIDENTS who are concerned about safety in their homes are being encouraged to get in touch with Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue.

The service offers free ‘Safe and Well’ visits where they can come to your home at a convenient time, give advice and fit free smoke alarms.

The one hour appointments cover a range of topics including safe cooking and use of electricity, what to do if there is a fire in your home and identifying and discussing further support if necessary.
