Let’s keep fire death toll falling: NIFRS
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) is asking everyone to make home fire safety their top resolution this year, to help protect themselves and their families from the dangers of fire.
Although Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service welcomes the reduction in both the number of accidental dwelling fires across Northern Ireland and the number of accidental fire deaths in 2014 compared to the previous year, we are urging the public not to become complacent about fire safety at home.
In total, there were 966 accidental dwelling fires in 2013 and this was reduced by 43 to 923 in 2014.
