πŸ”₯ If fire strikes, every second counts. βœ… Keep a fire extinguisher and blanket handy, make an evacuation plan, and let your local fire service know you have a thatched roof. Practise now and panic less later. πŸ‘‰ More advice: https://t.co/ePdLUyfVNv #HWFRS #SafeThatchedRoofs

πŸŽ† Keep the fireworks and bonfires well away from thatched buildings. Even small garden fires can send sparks towards your thatched roof, especially on a windy night. πŸ‘‰ More advice: https://t.co/ePdLUyfVNv #SafeThatchedRoofs #Herefordshire #Worcestershire #HWFRS

βš’οΈ Give your thatched roof an extra layer of protection this season. Fire-retardant sprays, under-thatch barriers, and ridge fire guards all help stop flames before they spread. πŸ‘‰ More advice: https://t.co/ePdLUyfVNv #HWFRS #SafeThatchedRoofs #Herefordshire #Worcestershire
