Your Risks

Knowing Your Risk  
 
Gillingham is a safe place to live, work and visit but we need to help make you even safer.
 
How We Assess Risks
 
We assess risks by identifying the number of incidents within target groups and predict the number of fires likely within that target group over the next three years. We then look at the wards and work out in which wards we are likely to have the most fires and for Gillingham this is shown on the map below. Risks are rated from Low to Very High.
 
Just because the ward is assessed as being at high risk does not mean that you are not safe. Simple precautions can improve safety in your home. To help with this, each of our fire stations has a tool which enables them to target individual properties that are most at risk and offer to complete a free home safety check which may include the fitting of a free smoke alarm.
