🚨 3 House Fires in 5 Days🚨

Yes that is correct 😮, Murwillumbah Firefighters have been responded to 3 house fires in 5 days this week within Murwillumbah and surrounds along with the Murwillumbah Rfb Rural Fire Service.

Fortunately there have been no injuries but unfortunately 2 houses have been destroyed by fire.

This is a timely reminder that fires can occur at anytime so it is important to have working smoke alarms and an emergency escape plan.

Smoke Alarms and Escape Plans save lives.

You can't predict a fire—but you can prepare for one.
Create an escape plan that everyone in your home understands.
Map the exits, pick a safe meeting place, and run regular fire drills.
Be fire safe this winter.

Did you know that Fire and Rescue NSW also conduct Home Fire Safety Visits to inspect smoke alarms and provide fire safety advice at no cost to you.
To book a HFSV please visit our website https://fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=9316

For more information on fire safety including escape plans please visit https://fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=879

A fire can spread rapidly and be devastating, even fatal. In under 3 minutes, toxic smoke and flames spreading through your home will put you and your loved ones at serious risk.
