Young children aged between 0-4 are at high risk of home fire fatalities,

burn and scald injuries due to fires and fire play in the home. CFA and FRV recommend that you put smoke alarms in all sleeping areas, especially the areas of one of our most high-risk age groups, children under the age of 10.

If you have young children or close the door for them to sleep, make sure to put smoke alarms in to them and check regularly that they are working.
