Fire Kills

Imagine this for a moment. It could save you more than just time. Imagine waking up to the smell of smoke. Imagine seeing your hall filling with thick black clouds, with flames round your kitchen door.

It doesn't bear thinking about. But thinking about it can stop it happening.

The 'Fire Kills' web site is designed to do just that - stop a fire happening in your home. The site explains what to do, what to check and what to avoid doing.  You can reduce the risks of fire to virtually zero.

Every day someone dies in a fire because they didn't have a working smoke alarm.

The smoke alarm maintenance campaign was launched on 17th September 2003. This TV and radio campaign highlights the importance of maintaining your smoke alarm. The key message of the campaign is "Check batteries once a week and replace them once a year.  Remember - Push The Button! Not Your Luck!"
