You’re four times more likely to die in a fire at home if you don’t have a smoke alarm. Use a 10-year battery and vacuum regularly to stop dust blocking sensors. Get a carbon monoxide alarm too. Every year, 200 Brits are admitted to hospital, and 40 die, from this colourless, tasteless gas emitted from faulty boilers, cookers or fires. www.myweekly.co.uk
