Carers of West Dunbartonshire are proud to announce that via our Valued Carer initiative, we are working in partnership with local Scottish Fire and Rescue crews to deliver free Home Fire Safety Visits to unpaid carers. The Community Action Team for Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute took part in our Carer Awareness Training at the beginning of 2024, and now recognise our organisation as a referral source for Home Fire Safety Visits. Home Fire Safety Visits help you to identify fire risks within your home, as well as create an escape plan and monitor smoke detectors.
If you are a carer registered with our organisation, you can request a referral for a Home Fire Safety Visit on 0141 941 1550.
PLEASE NOTE: Home Fire Safety Visits referred by our organisation will only be for unpaid carers. If you live at a separate address to the person you care for and would like them to receive a Home Fire Safety Visit, this can be arranged directly with Scottish Fire and Rescue on 0800 0731 999. Please ensure you have the person’s permission before arranging.
