Help keep everyone safe - how to prevent unwanted fire alarms

Unwanted fire alarms can be disruptive and worrying for everyone. The good news is that a few simple steps can help reduce false alarms and keep our homes safe and comfortable.

1. When cooking, if possible, open a window to let cooking fumes or steam escape
2. If possible, keep kitchen doors closed, especially when frying food, grilling or using the toaster
3. After showering, let steam clear by opening a window or having the extractor fan on (if you have one).

Other things that can trigger alarms

Some everyday items can also set off smoke alarms if used nearby:

• Vapes
• Air fresheners
• Hair sprays

Try to use these away from smoke detectors where possible.

Working together, we can:

• Reduce unwanted alarms
• Keep our homes safe and comfortable
• Look out for one another

By making a few small changes, you can help create a safer and more comfortable place for everyone. If you have any concerns, please speak to your location manager.
