Emergency services in the north-east have launched a new campaign to encourage residents to test their smoke detection equipment at home regularly.
Fire crews across Aberdeenshire and Moray will soon begin to distribute brand new testing sticks, which people can use to safely check if their smoke alarms are in order on a daily basis.
A total of 500 sticks have been donated to the service by Aberdeenshire Community Safety Partnership and the Formartine and Garioch Safety Partnership.
The aim of the new initiative is to spread the message about the importance of regularly testing smoke detection equipment in private properties.
