Get your electric blanket checked for FREE

Posted on September 30 2013

Older people are six times more likely than anyone else to die in a house fire caused by a faulty electric blanket.

To help you stay safe in your home this winter Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS) is offering FREE electric blanket safety checks for anyone aged over 60 or registered disabled. DFRS will replace any blanket failing the PAT test with a plush fleece topper thanks to funding from the Department of Health.
