According to the latest CLG fire figures for 2008 there were 33,000 accidental house fires, 10% of which occurred around the Christmas period. It's for this reason that national retailer Focus DIY and First Alert are urging homeowners to take more care over the festive period with a step by step safety guide to ensure you have a fire free home.
Speaking of the initiative to safeguard homes from fires, First Alert's sales and marketing manager Duncan Spall said: "Christmas is a time of celebration; however the combination of alcohol, candles, packed plug sockets and busy kitchens can be deadly. It's important to remember that most fires are preventable so taking time out at the beginning of December to undertake simple safety steps will help prevent a fire in your home over the festive period."
