These activities include Home Fire Safety Visits undertaken in people’s homes, encompassing home safety assessments, personal lifestyle and wellbeing checks; sharing information at public events; giving safety talks; and distributing information at community locations. There is a clear relationship between the amount of prevention work we undertake and the number of fires in the community.
