The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is asking you to test your smoke alarms as part of the Fire Kills campaign ‘Tick, Tock, Test’, which encourages people to use the clock change on Sunday 27th October as a reminder to test their smoke alarms.

Last year 197 people died in fires in the home. You are 4 times more likely to die in a fire in the home if there is no working smoke alarm. So when you change your clocks, test your smoke alarms. It takes no time at all and gives you and your family a better chance of surviving a fire. Tick. Tock. Test.
