Having working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms when you’re staying in a caravan is just as important as having them in your home. Make sure your caravan has both type of alarms fitted, and test them regularly.

Lithium-ion batteries hold a huge amount of energy in a small space. 💡 Watch the segment from @BBCNews, featuring our explainer on thermal runaway.
If your battery isn't compatible with the charger, or a substandard battery is overcharged, the risk of fire is extremely high.

Fires from cooking appliances account for over half of all fire injuries in the home. Make sure your older relatives don’t get distracted whilst cooking and help prevent an accident.
