Use an e bike or e scooter? Batteries can explode or lead to a rapid developing fire. Charge batteries when awake - if there’s a fire you can respond quickly. Don’t charge batteries when you’re asleep or out. Safety: https://t.co/9srx6eMzCF News story: https://t.co/a1Wn7uCPAg

A great example of why we recommend closing internal doors before you head to bed. Closed doors can help reduce the spread of fire and smoke, keeping your escape route free. Get our night time checklist here: https://t.co/Ddb09lEkc4

Do not smoke, use naked flames or get near to anything which may cause a fire whilst wearing clothing or a bandage that has been in contact with emollient skin creams. More info: https://t.co/VtfYKUWQIe Get the leaflet: https://t.co/kJDFQl3xC0

Last year many homes were evacuated within the community of Daviot, near Inverness, as wildfire threatened property and lives. If you live or work in an area at risk of wildfires, an escape plan is a must. Guidance can be found ➡️ https://t.co/yZTTsc6DeC
