The Leicestershire Fire and Rescue service is encouraging residents to have regular fire checks.
The service offers information and advice in events of a fire, as well as how to prevent fires.
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service will carry out the fire safety checks in homes where there is a high risk of fire, lasting 30 minutes, as well as fitting smoke alarms.
Residents can only request if they are concerned or know someone that may be at risks of serious fire.
