As part of this year’s Fire Safety Week – we will also look back through decades of fire safety campaigns to highlight a timeless truth: the risks identified generations ago remain among the most common causes of fire today, and the advice to prevent them is just as relevant. By revisiting historic fire safety posters and messages, we'll explore what has changed, what hasn't, and why recognising fire hazards, practising good fire safety habits, and taking preventative action remain the key to reducing fire risk and protecting lives, homes and workplaces.
