FireAngel, the UK’ manufacturer of fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide alarms is supporting Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service (NFRS) Winter Warmth Pack initiative by donating carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to help protect vulnerable residents during the colder months.
Between December and February, a total of 75 Winter Warmth Packs will be distributed across Northamptonshire. Each pack contains a selection of cold-weather essentials, including a pair of thermal socks, a fleece scarf, thermal gloves, thermal hat, torch and fleece blanket, as well as a FireAngel carbon monoxide alarm designed to help protect residents from CO exposure in homes where heating may be unsafe or used irregularly.
The packs are distributed by NFRS community prevention teams during fire safety visits and targeted community engagement sessions. They are prioritised for individuals living in cold or hazardous home environments, including residents who are homeless, living rough over winter, unable to heat their homes due to fuel-poverty, or reliant on temporary and often unsafe heating appliances.
NFRS has already reported a significant positive impact from previous years’ initiatives, with residents describing the support as lifesaving and essential during freezing conditions. The collaboration supports FireAngel’s mission to enhance community fire and carbon monoxide safety through close partnership with UK fire and rescue services, supplying prevention teams with trusted, certified alarms and providing vulnerable groups with accessible home-safety solutions.
FireAngel National Account Manager Dan Tweddle says: “Working together with fire and rescue services ensures we can make a meaningful difference to those who need support most, particularly during the coldest and most challenging months of the year.”
