Homes for Good
We work closely with Avon Fire and Rescue to help ensure the safety of our customers and the wider community. Earlier this month, the fire service used one of our empty homes in Twerton for a training exercise. The fire fighters put dummies, the same size and weight as adults and children, into the house, and then filled the house with synthetic smoke to simulate a real fire.
