The fire brigade that covers North Somerset is reminding us to check our smoke alarms are working at the same time that we put the clocks forward tonight..

Avon Fire & Rescue Service (AF&RS) is supporting a national campaign to encourage people to check their smoke alarms when the clocks go forward at the weekend.
 
A new hard-hitting national advertising campaign is urging householders to test their alarms when they are resetting clocks and timers on Sunday 25 March. 
 
Last year in the UK 188 people died and 4,106 were injured at fires in homes where there was no smoke detector or where a detector didn’t operate.
 
A video has been posted on YouTube which is supported by a series of radio adverts urging people to remember to check their smoke alarms this weekend.
