Stone residents urged to be wary of hoax callers
Posted on 2nd October 2013
Stafford and Rural Homes and Staffordshire police are advising residents in Stone to be vigilant after a number of hoax calls claiming to be from Staffordshire Fire Service.
Following a recent fatal house fire in Stone individuals claiming to be from the fire service have been trying to gain access to people’s homes by saying are coming to carry out Home Fire Risk Checks (HFRC’s).
As Staffordshire Fire Service will be carrying out genuine HFRC’s to homes in the area residents are urged to check the ID of any home visitors carefully.
