Deliberate Fire Setting - Grass Fires


Setting fire to grass or rubbish can take firefighters away from other incidents. Every minute counts. What if someone you knew was trapped in a house fire while firefighters were putting a grass fire out? Deliberate fire setting can delay us reaching a genuine emergency situation.

Every Tuesday, you should 'push the button' to test your alarms. Keep yourself safe by making sure that your alarms are functioning.
