New Fire Kills Web Site
In 2006/7 there were 36,500 accidental fires in the home. Many of these are caused by a single moment of carelessness and could be easily prevented. It is important to be aware of possible fire hazards around the home and to take steps to protect you and your family from fire.
The Communities and Local Government Fire Kills campaign is a publicity campaign aimed at the general public. The Fire Kills website contains a series of dedicated campaign pages full of useful information on how to prevent, detect and escape from fire. The site features key fire safety messages and Fire Kills campaign materials, including specialised resources for teachers, fire fighters, people with disabilities, and landlords and tenants. There is also an interactive area aimed specifically at children, to teach them about fire safety in a fun and practical way.
