Always check all candles and cigarettes are completely put out before going to sleep.
Turn off all non-required appliances such as TVs and computers; every night there is a power surge on the National Grid and even if your appliances do not catch fire, they could still be damaged.
If you have one, keep your mobile phone where you can easily reach it in bed – this could be the difference between you being able to call 999 and not.
Keep torches in easy-to-access places; being able to pick up a torch straight away will help you escape a dark, smoke-filled room.
