Can you pick the fire dangers in this nursery?

Many of the everyday items we put in our bedrooms - young children included - can pose a fire risk to you and your littlest ones.

Check electrical items, don't overload power boards, have working smoke alarms and keep items that can be a risk away from the little hands in your house.

Young children aged between 0-4 are at high risk of home fire fatalities,

burn and scald injuries due to fires and fire play in the home. CFA and FRV recommend that you put smoke alarms in all sleeping areas, especially the areas of one of our most high-risk age groups, children under the age of 10.

If you have young children or close the door for them to sleep, make sure to put smoke alarms in to them and check regularly that they are working.

Did you know that CFA have multicultural kits with all of our resources - including audio and visual files - translated into 12 different languages?

Fire safety is so important for all people and can be a confusing concept when first moving to Victoria or trying to understand the ideas in English if that is not your first language.

Did you know that almost two thirds of people who die in house fires have a disability?

On average, 18 people die in preventable residential house fires in Victoria every year.

CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria have an online learning module to support at risk people with planning for fire emergencies at home.

Prevent, Detect, Escape – Home Fire Safety for people at higher risk is made for people at increased fire risk, and for people who support or care for them.
