Campaign kit: Spring fire safety
There were 921 residential fires across the state during spring last year with 383 of these fires starting in kitchens or cooking areas. As the weather warms up, FRNSW is urging the public not to become complacent about home fire dangers.
Several recent fatalities during winter have reinforced the importance of keeping clear pathways to all exits, both in homes and workplaces. Fire doesn't discriminate - being prepared saves lives.
Spring is also the perfect time to reassess storage of hazardous materials and chemicals, reduce fuel loads, and check fire safety systems.
This toolkit has been developed to help our stakeholders communicate with their local community about how to be fire safe in preparation for the warmer months.

A grubby grill can cause fires that can't be put out with water. Keep the flames where they belong and clean your BBQ before you cook.
