Make your Home Fire Escape Plan these school holidays VICTORIAN fire services are calling on families to take time out these school holidays to update their home fire escape plan. Each year in Victoria, an average of 18 people lose their lives in house fires and many more are seriously injured. Statistics from Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) and Country Fire Authority reveal that young children, along with older people, people with a disability, and smokers are at a higher risk of not
surviving a fire in their home. While the dangers of a fire are very real, there are steps people can take to keep their families and homes safe. Visit frv.vic.gov.au or cfa.vic.gov. au to download a Home Fire Safety Booklet (available in many different languages including Arabic, Dari, Greek, Mandarin and many more), to learn Top Survival Tips, what parents need to know about home fire safety, and how to treat burns.
