Fire and Rescue NSW offer free safety visits to keep elderly fire safe during Seniors Festival

Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is focussed on reducing the risk experienced by the peninsula area seniors when it comes to fires in the home.

To address this trend, Umina Fire station is promoting FRNSW’s Safety Visit program during Seniors Festival (2-15 March), designed to educate the community about common household fire dangers.

“Our Safety Visits are a great opportunity to remind seniors and their carers about fire safety around the home,”.

“As part of the program, firefighters come to your home and carry out a fire risk inspection, installing a free smoke alarm where necessary.

“People cannot smell smoke when they are asleep, so having a working smoke alarm is crucial.

“Our Safety Visit program allows us to improve the safety of some of our most vulnerable community members, and make sure they are prepared to respond quickly in an emergency.”

During the safety visit, firefighters also offer personalised fire safety advice on devices like heaters, power boards and smoke alarms.

Some simple steps to improve fire safety in the home include:
• Check smoke alarms regularly to ensure they are in working order
• If fire occurs, get out, stay out and dial Triple Zero '000' immediately
• Have an escape plan in case of fire and practice it regularly
• Keep a key in any deadlock to assist in an urgent exit
• Never ever leave cooking unattended
• Place drying clothing at least 1 metre from heaters or fireplaces and never leave unattended
• If you use a clothes dryer clean the lint filter each and every time you use it
• Don't overload power points and switch off when not in use
• Always handle candles or any other open flame with care
• Only use wheat bags for direct application to body aches and pains. Wheat bags can ignite, and are not designed to replace hot water bottles for warming beds
