Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is warning residents about scam emails linked to home fire safety visits. The emails claim households could be charged £500 if they do not have a working smoke alarm. The fire service says its official home fire safety visits are always free, and any smoke alarms fitted during visits are also provided at no cost.
