“NSW Fire Brigades statistics show that, in 2005, 37 people were killed in home fires. There was no smoke alarm in 71% of the homes where the fatal fires occurred, and there are questions over whether the alarm was working in many others.”

Keeping your family safe as they sleep is your number 1 priority.

 

Residential buildings contain a wide spectrum of fire safety risks due to different construction types, poor wiring, flammable contents such as furniture and equipment and a high risk of human error. Fire risk peaks at night as the senses are dulled during sleep, meaning your family may not detect the fire in time to get out safely.

 

Having a functioning fire alarm system in your home can save lives, as well as reduce the devastating loss of property in house fires.

 

Everyone in your household should understand the fire risks in your home and what to do to minimise them.

Home safety checklist

Fire & Rescue NSW recommends this simple safety checklist to assist in keeping your home safe from fire.

  • Install suitable smoke alarms and test them regularly.
  • Have a written escape plan in case of fire and practice it regularly with the entire household.
  • Make sure keys to all locked doors are readily accessible in case you need to escape.
  • Never leave food cooking or any other open flame including candles or oil burners unattended.
  • Clean the lint filter of your clothes dryer each and every time you use it.
  • Never smoke in bed and take extra care if consuming alcohol whilst smoking.
  • In winter take extra care when using heaters, electric blankets or open fires.
  • Don’t overload power points and switch off appliances when not in use.
  • Always keep lighters and matches away from children and educate them that they are “tools not toys” to be used only by responsible adults.
  • If you have a garage or shed remember to take extra care with any stored chemicals and fuels and always refuel mowers, edgers etc when they are cold and in the open.
  • If you have a gas, electric or wood BBQ always check that it is in safe working order before lighting and that it is always in the care of a responsible adult when in use.
  • If you live in a bushfire-prone area keep the ground around your home clear of leaves and other litter and remember to clean your gutters regularly.
