π₯βοΈ UK HEATWAVE β PLEASE TAKE EXTRA CARE βοΈπ₯
With the UK now experiencing its fifth heatwave of the year, the continued hot and dry conditions mean the risk of accidental fires can increase significantly.
π₯ Fires donβt always start in the obvious ways.
At Humidity Response Ltd, we regularly see the damage that fire and smoke can cause to homes and businesses. Taking just a few minutes to check your property could make all the difference.
π PLEASE CHECK AROUND YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS:
π Keep magnifying glasses, mirrors and reflective objects away from direct sunlight through windows.
π Donβt leave chargers and electrical devices plugged in unnecessarily β especially around beds, sofas and soft furnishings.
π§ Make sure fridges, freezers and other appliances have adequate ventilation and arenβt surrounded by dust or restricted airflow.
π₯ Keep an eye on compost heaps β decomposing material naturally generates heat and prolonged hot weather can increase the risk of overheating.
π‘οΈ Check garages, sheds and outbuildings where batteries, tools, machinery or flammable materials may be exposed to extreme temperatures.
π³ Clear excessive dry vegetation, leaves, timber and garden waste from around buildings where reasonably possible.
π Never discard ci******es into dry grass or vegetation.
π Take particular care with BBQs and disposable BBQs and make absolutely sure they are fully extinguished and cold before disposal.
π Never leave batteries, power banks or electrical equipment exposed to excessive heat unnecessarily.
π₯ PREVENTION TODAY. PROTECTION TOMORROW. π₯
These are simple precautions, but they could prevent a devastating fire.
π¨ If your home or business is affected by fire, smoke, water or another property emergency, Humidity Response Ltd provides professional disaster recovery support.
