Key Fire Safety Essentials

Fire is dangerous, but there’s a lot you can do to protect yourself, your family and your home.

1. Install and maintain smoke alarms:

Make sure you have working smoke alarms on every level of your home. Test them regularly and replace batteries and units as needed.

2. Identify and remove fire hazards:

Check for overloaded power boards, damaged cords, unattended candles, and clutter near heat sources.

Keep flammable items away from stoves, heaters and open flames.

3. Create and practice a home fire escape plan:

Plan at least two ways out of every room.

Choose a safe meeting place outside.

Practice the plan with everyone in the household.

4. If a fire occurs: get out, stay out, and call 000:

Never go back inside for belongings, instead go to your safe meeting place.

Turn heating off before bed

As we come into the cooler months, our days are lovely, but nights are getting a bit chilly ❄️

Making sure that our heaters are being used in a safe manner is important so our homes, and families, stay safe.

Remember to turn off your heater before bed, keep clothes at least one meter away from all heating sources - including heaters and fireplaces - and always supervise children around heaters and open fires 👪

Don't risk your family's safety, make sure your heaters are safe for this winter 🔥🏠
