Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service has launched the SAME4 campaign in a focused effort to help prevent fatal fires across our counties.
SAME4 highlights the four key risk factors most often linked to fire fatalities:
• Smoking
•Age (over 65)
• Mobility4
• Emollient creams
When these risks combine, they can make it much harder for someone to escape safely in the event of a fire. Sadly, many of the lives lost in recent years have involved one or more of these factors.
We're encouraging our communities to be safe and for more information, visit: https://www.dsfire.gov.uk/.../same-4-fire-safety-starts-home
