False fire alarms can be disruptive and may cause people to become less alert when they hear the alarm. Remember, you should always evacuate when the fire alarm sounds - never assume it’s a false alarm.
You can help prevent false alarms by:
Keeping your bathroom door closed when showering, as steam can trigger the alarm
Using aerosol sprays in the bathroom with the extractor fan switched on
Keeping clothes and other items away from heaters
Not using candles
Opening kitchen windows slightly when cooking and keeping the kitchen fire door closed
Never leaving cooking unattended
Reporting any damaged fire alarm call points to your property team
Not smoking or vaping inside the building
Letting your property team know if you think someone is smoking in the building
