FIRE SAFETY A MUST THIS FESTIVE SEASON As lights, candles, trees and tinsel start to fill homes in the lead-up to December 25, Queenslanders are being asked to make fire safety a feature in their Christmas celebrations. Traditionally a time of festivities, December is also a busy time for firefighters, with crews attending more than 146 structural fires in the last month of last year. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) Commissioner Greg Leach urged Queenslanders to make sure their decorations were safe to use this Christmas, and not to be complacent about fire safety. “A house fire is a life-changing and devastating experience regardless of the time of year, but we especially do not want to see a preventable tragedy happen this Christmas,” Mr Leach said. “We’re calling for everyone to do some simple checks to ensure their home and family are safe.

Only use decorations outside where they have been specifically designed for outdoor use. Indoor lights simply aren’t made to withstand the elements and can pose a serious fire risk under the wrong conditions." “Lights and candles should be placed in safe locations and never left unattended, especially while your family is sleeping at night.” While preventative measures around decoration quality and placement were important, Mr Leach said working smoke alarms were also essential and changes to smoke alarm legislation would add enhanced safety to households. “There’s no disputing that smoke alarms save lives and photoelectric, interconnected alarms provide a fantastic early warning system to allow people the maximum amount of time to escape a residential fire,” he
