FREE ELECTRIC BLANKET TESTING
FREE ELECTRIC BLANKET TESTING in October and November 2025 is being carried out by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service who are encouraging residents to put dates in their diaries for
Wednesday 12 November at Deanland Wood Park, Golden Cross BN27 3RN from 10am to 12 noon and
Lion House Park, Mill Road, Hailsham, BN27 2SQ from 2 to 4pm.
Last year over 30% of the blankets tested failed the safety checks, which could have resulted in serious incidents or even house fires. The ESFRS will be operating testing centres in fire stations and halls across East Sussex, Brighton and Hove and you can find out about other test centres at www.esfrs.org. It is a free service, and ESFRS would advise everyone to bring their electric blanket and heat pads, with the controls, for a safety check. The project is being supported by partners giving advice on safety and security issues, along with healthy lifestyle information.
