Fire safety
It only takes one accident to start a fire
As part of the Government's commitment to help prevent fatalities and injuries from accidental fires, the Home Office in collaboration with the National Fire Chiefs Council and local Fire and Rescue Services, runs the Fire Kills campaign to keep people safe in their homes.
The campaign is aimed at raising awareness of everyday fire risks that are present in the home and encourages all householders in England, particularly vulnerable people, to test their smoke alarms regularly.
