Fire safety is important!

Fire is very dangerous, and is one of the main causes of accidental injury and death amongst children. You can help prevent a fire in your home by making sure that you don’t play with matches, lighters or candles, that you don’t put things onto the cooker, or play near a fire or heater.

Speak to your parent or carer to make sure that your house has a working smoke alarm – smoke alarms can save lives as they give you an early warning of a fire. Avon Fire & Rescue Service can arrange free Home Fire Safety Visits

You should also make sure you speak to your parent or carer about what you should do if a fire happens in your home. Having an escape route planned means that if there is a fire you know the best way to get out of the house.


Hoax calls cost lives!  

Hoax or prank calls endanger lives as it means our crews may not be available to deal with a real fire.
If you make hoax calls your telephone number can be traced and cut off. Hoax calls can lead to a fine and criminal record.

Are you a parent or carer?  

Are you a teacher?
