Discover why a safer home is so important…

On average, there are 3000 house fires in Victoria annually – that’s over eight house fires per day. The most common place in the home where fires start is the kitchen, with sleeping and lounge areas resulting in the highest fatalities due to the incorrect use of electrical appliances or home heaters.

You can do a lot to protect yourself, your family and your home.

  • Working smoke alarms are your best defence against home fires, especially during the night when you lose the sense of smell. A working smoke alarm becomes your ‘electronic nose’ while you sleep.
  • VIC Fire Rescue recommends installing interconnected smoke alarms in every bedroom and living space, including hallways, stairways and even the garage, so that when one alarm activates, all smoke alarms sound.
  • All heating devices are switched off or extinguished before leaving home or going to sleep.
  • Home heating, including flues and chimneys, is regularly cleaned and serviced by a certified technician.
  • Check appliances for visibly frayed or damaged wiring
  • Prepare a home fire escape plan
