The smell of smoke alone won't wake you up if you're asleep.
Working smoke alarms in bedrooms gives you and your family the best chance of
survival if a fire were to occur. 🛌🏽😴💤

Be fire safe when using a fireplace to stay warm this winter!
✅ Use a torch to check for creosote build-up or obstructions like bird nests.
✅ Have your chimney professionally cleaned annually.
✅ Always extinguish your fire before going to bed or leaving home.

Does your alarm chirp occasionally? That means the battery is going flat. Change your smoke alarms to ones with 10-year lithium batteries, so you can be protected longer.
Only working smoke alarms save lives.

Yesterday some of our members headed to VEMTC Central Highlands for some 'hot' training, responding to car and isolated remote structure fires. Newer members also had the chance to experience a major kitchen fire with a simulated flashover in controlled environment.

Safely staying warm this winter requires a little extra care. Never leave heaters on while you sleep, to protect you and your whole family.

If there is someone in your house who loves a candle lit dinner (or candle lit anything) - make sure they know how to use them safely! 🕯️
If you are planning to use fire in the home, even better to make sure you have smoke alarms installed in any room a fire may be lit. �

Families who have a home fire escape plan are more likely to get out of their home safely and without panic.
