Home fire safety self checker

We're taking part in a national trial of a self-assessment home fire safety check tool.

Start your home fire safety check
  • It takes 15 mins.
  • You'll answer questions about your property and lifestyle.
  • At the end, you'll get a personalised fire safety action plan.
  • In some cases, it may suggest we attend your property to install safety measures.

If you find the self-checker difficult to use, email us at jpsreferrals@hertfordshire.gov.uk.
