Fire and gas safety

Part of: Safety in the home

In the case of a fire emergency, phone 999.

Ways to stay fire and gas safe in your home:

  • Ask for a Home Fire Safety Assessment from Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service. They’ll check for risks, fit smoke alarms, and give advice.
  • If you smell gas, want to report a gas leak, or require gas emergency services, call the 24/7 national emergency service on 0800 111 999.
  • Install carbon monoxide detectors in rooms with fixed combustion appliances (such as a gas fire, gas boiler, log burner or open fireplace).
