For those living in farmhouses or cottages, it can take fire fighters longer to reach rural properties than those in urban areas.

NFU Scotland is supporting the message from Scottish Fire and Rescue Service that those in rural areas should take extra precautions. It recommends taking up the Service’s offer of a free Home Fire Safety visit.
