Did you change your smoke alarm battery when you changed your clocks this year? It takes just take a few minutes to change the batteries and test your smoke alarms.
Working smoke alarms provide vital early warning in the event of a fire. When people are asleep, they can’t smell smoke. Smoke alarms are essential to wake people if a fire breaks out; they give occupants early warning and time to evacuate safely. Fire Facts:
- There are about 11,000 house fires in Australia each year. In fact, one in five Australians will experience a house fire in their lifetime.
- In Australia, more than 50 deaths are recorded each year as a result of accidental house fires. The majority of deaths occur between 9pm and 6am, and the elderly (people aged 65 and over) have a disproportionately higher fire death rate compared to the rest of the population.
- House fires are more common in winter months, when people are using fires, heaters and other electrical equipment.

Glenhaven Rural Fire Brigade played host to the 1st Kellyville Cubs as they learnt about fire safety and education while also playing with the fire trucks. Both groups were treated to some "hot" stuff including examples of the brigade attending to a flammable liquids fire and some static demonstrations. Thanks also to members of Kellyville Brigade for attending and providing assistance. |
