The fire service will today (Friday) distribute fire safety leaflets in the town centre as part of Fire Safety Week.

Tomorrow (Saturday) they'll be running a fire safety demonstration from 12 to 2pm at Tesco Deer Park and all are welcome.

Their advice to the public to keep your home safe is to clean your chimney and service heating systems at least once a year, test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms at least once a week, don’t leave candles, naked flames or cooking unattended, replace any faulty electrical appliances or get the repaired by a professional.
Plan an escape route in the event of a fire with at least two different exits and don’t dry clothes on or near heaters.

At night turn off all gas appliances, place a spark guard in front of open fires and unplug unnecessary electrical appliances.
Close all doors at night, as little as three minutes you could die from smoke inhalation.

Halloween is approaching, don’t use fireworks. Don’t use accelerants such as petrol, paraffin or diesel to start bonfires.

In the event of a fire “get out, stay out and call the fire brigade out” and dial, 999 or 112.

Stay safe from all at Kerry Fire and Rescue Service.
