Tip 7 – Get out, stay out, call us out: Get out, stay out, call us out – You wake up to find a fire raging through your house. What do you do? Our advice is to get out (if it’s safe to do so), stay out and call us out by ringing 999. Remember: Get Out. Stay Out. Call us Out. You should never try to fight a fire.

On Saturday 24th September a woman and five of her children lost their lives in the most serious house fire in London in over a decade.

This tragic event has made many people think about fire safety in their home which is why we’ve launched our Facebook campaign, Share it, Save a Life. Each day for the next week we will post a top fire safety tip on our Facebook page. And that’s where you come in – if you’re on Facebook we’d like you to click ‘share’ under each tip to share it with all of your friends. The idea is that they will then share it with their friends, and so on.

There are around 50,000 fires in people’s homes across the UK each year. By helping us to share our fire safety tips on Facebook we think we can reduce these fires and maybe even save lives.

Can you help us to share these vital fire safety messages with one million people on Facebook? Could you help promote the campaign on your blog or website?

Tip 6 – Candles: there’s no doubt candles looks great but they can easily cause a blaze – thousands of people’s homes are destroyed by candle fires each year. It’s surprising how many people don’t blow them out when they leave the house or go to bed. If you leave the room blow candles out, that’s the only way to ensure they won’t start a fire. You should also make sure candles and tealights are placed on a heat resistant surface, like a ceramic plate, otherwise they can easily melt the surface they’re placed on and start a fire.

The candle safety section of our website includes more top tips on how to prevent candle fires.

Tip 5 – Smoking: We know you don’t all smoke but you probably know someone who does so we’re hoping you’ll pass this on. Four out of ten fatal fires are caused by cigarettes. Make sure your cig’s completely out once you’ve finished with it – sounds simple but lots of people chuck them in the bin when they’re still lit. There are still around 800 fires each year in London that are caused by smoking materials like cigarettes, matches and lighters. That’s 800 fires too many as far as we’re concerned. You can read more about cigarettes and fire safety on our website.

Tip 4 – Cooking: Need an excuse to take greater care in the kitchen? Here’s a good one – in the last 5 years there were over 17,500 fires in London kitchens, causing over 2600 injuries and 24 deaths. What’s worrying is that nearly 1 in 3 of these fires is started by a young professional. Never leave your cooking unattended, not even for a moment. You can learn more about how to stay safe in your kitchen on our website.

Tip 3 – Smoke alarms Want to know how to improve your chance of surviving a fire at home? The answer is simple: fit smoke alarms on each level of your home and test them often. Many fire related deaths are caused by people being overcome by smoke and fumes, not just burns. A smoke alarm could save your life as it’ll buy you precious seconds to escape if a fire breaks out. Find out more about smoke alarms.
