'The Beep' is our short film for Electrical Fire Safety Week 2026. Learn more about our campaign and the importance of regularly testing your smoke alarms on our website: electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/efsw

Check your batteries. Test your smoke alarms today

Everything comes down to the moment the fire is first detected. The materials, the room, the time of day, none of it matters as much as whether a smoke alarm sounds when it should.

So take action now!
-Test every smoke alarm in your home today.
-Check the batteries, and replace anything that’s not working.
-A chirping smoke alarm isn’t background noise; it’s a warning.

If it beeps, don’t ignore it.
