The theme of this year's National Fire Safety Week which runs from 3rd to 10th October is “STOP Fire - Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives” .

Fit smoke alarms today and make sure they are in good working order. Working smoke alarms will warn you if there is a fire. Remember: Your sense of smell does not work when you are asleep and smoke can put you in a deeper sleep.
