SFRS statistics show that in 2024-25 there were 459 accidental dwelling fires where impairment through alcohol or drugs was seen as a contributory factor.

If you’re tired, have been drinking, or taking drugs, you will be less alert to the signs of fire. You are more likely to fall asleep. You are less likely to wake up if a fire does start.

Avoid cooking. Instead prepare a cold snack or buy carry out food.
