The Warwickshire Fire and Rescue service are encouraging everyone to make fire safety a priority by ensuring they have enough smoke alarms in the home and that they work.

It only takes a few seconds and can saves lives.

As part of the Fire Kills campaign, Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) is asking people to test their smoke alarms regularly and make testing them part of their household routine.

To keep your alarms in working order:

- Make sure there is at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home
- Test your smoke alarms by pushing the button every week
- Check that your smoke alarms are less than 10 years old
- Change the batteries every year. Never remove them.
- Fit smoke alarms in the right place - on landings and hallways and near bedrooms. Also consider fitting them in rooms which have electrical appliances – e.g. a heater or charger – or other fire risks
- Take a moment to check on your loved ones who may need help to ensure they’re fully protected.

This year’s national theme is Be the Change. It highlights the growing impact of stress and burnout and urges people to take practical steps to protect their mental health. The month offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and make manageable changes that support long‑term wellbeing.

Stress Awareness Month has been marked every April since 1992 and is led nationally by the Stress Management Society. The campaign aims to reduce stigma around mental health and help people turn periods of stress into opportunities to build resilience.
