Home fire safety

Fire and Rescue NSW can provide a FREE home Safety Visit, where you'll get helpful tips and have checks done to ensure you have a working smoke alarm.  If you currently don't have an alarm, firefighters will install a long-life battery-powered smoke alarm, as well as replace existing alarm batteries at no cost.  

You will have an opportunity to discuss your fire escape plan and learn about:

• Cooking fire safety;
• Heaters and open fires;
• Common electrical safety;
• Barbecues and LPG cylinders; and
• Bedroom heating and wheat bags.

​Safety Talks for Seniors Groups

Seniors Groups can request a safety talk for their members which will include information from local police on how to avoid crime at home, over the phone or out in your neighbourhood. These talks also include information from our Road Safety Officer on how to look after your safety as a pedestrian and while driving a car. They are presented in partnership with NSW Police.

Safer Driving Workshops for Seniors

Most years, as part of our Seniors Week program, we offer our always popular safer driving workshop for seniors which includes tips for maintaining driving skills later in life, the latest information on changes to NSW road rules and the opportunity for an on-road driving assessment by a qualified driving instructor.​
