Professional referral for a Home Fire Safety Visit
Any professional can refer someone for a Home Fire Safety Visit if concerned about their fire safety.
The referral process will assess if the occupant is eligible for a home visit.
Our online assessment helps spot potential fire risks, offering tips and advice for the occupant.
If considered low risk then you will receive a personalised fire safety action plan that will keep the occupant safe from fire. If you still feel a visit is required please contact Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue on 01522 843415.
If they are eligible for a home visit, we will contact the person you select in the referral form to arrange a visit.
Those considered most at risk will be prioritised.
SHERMAN campaign
The SHERMAN campaign highlights seven factors that put people at greater risk of having a fire, or being less likely to react to a fire.
- Smoking
- Hoarding
- Elderly people or those who live alone
- Reduced mobility, hearing or visual impairments
- Mental health issues
- Alcohol misuse, drugs/medication dependence
- Needing care or support
It aims to increase both public and professional awareness of the risk factors. It encourages them to contact with the fire service through a safe and well check.
