🔥 Fire Safety Week 2026: Learning from the Past to Protect the Future 🔥

As part of this year’s Fire Safety Week, we’ll be taking a look back at decades of fire safety campaigns and revisiting some of the messages and advice that helped shape the future of fire safety awareness across Ireland.

While times have changed, many of the fire risks identified years gone by remain among the most common causes of fire today.

The advice to prevent them is just as relevant:
Recognise hazards, practise good fire safety habits, and take action before a fire occurs.



🚒 Learn from the past.
🏠 Act in the present.
✅ Stay safe for the future.

📢📢TEST IT TUESDAY 📢📢

Smoke Alarms help detect a fire before it spreads.

Once a week, set aside 2 minutes of your Tuesday to test your smoke alarm by pushing and holding the test button until it activates. Check the Expiry date, dust off and replace the batteries if needed.

Smoke Alarms should be fitted at the highest point and as close to the centre of the ceiling as possible

TÁSTÁIL TF DÉ MÁIRT

Cuidíonn Aláraim Deataigh le tine a bhrath sula scaipeann sé.

Uair sa tseachtain, cuir 2 nóiméad de do Mháirt ar leataobh chun d’aláram deataigh a thástáil tríd an gcnaipe tástála a bhrú agus a shealbhú go dtí go ngníomhóidh sé. Seiceáil an dáta éaga, deannach amach agus athchuir na cadhnraí más gá.

Ba cheart Aláraim Dheataigh a fheistiú ag an bpointe is airde agus chomh gar agus is féidir do lár an uasteorainn.

Seachtain Náisiúnta um Shábháilteacht ó Dhóiteán 2026

12 Deireadh Fómhair – 18 Deireadh Fómhair 2025

"Bíodh eolas agat ar do sheomra, ar an mbaol agus ar an duine"

I mbliana, le linn na Seachtaine Náisiúnta um Shábháilteacht ó Dhóiteán, díreoidh Údaráis Dóiteáin ar fud na tíre ar na rioscaí sa bhaile agus sa phobal a thuiscint. Cuirfear béim ar an tábhacht a bhaineann le tú féin a chosaint ar dhóiteán, le tacú leis na baill is leochailí dár bpobal, agus le fios a bheith agat conas na rioscaí a theorannú.

Ba mhaith linn go mbeadh eolas agat ar na contúirtí agus ar na hiarmhairtí, agus níos tábhachtaí fós, conas cosc ​​a chur ar thosú dóiteáin trí sheiceálacha agus gnáthaimh shimplí a dhéanamh sa bhaile.

Cruthaíonn gach seomra rioscaí dóiteáin éagsúla.

Trí thuiscint a fháil ar do thimpeallacht, guaiseacha féideartha a aithint, agus eolas a bheith agat ar an mbealach éalaithe is gaire duit, is féidir leat cabhrú le cosc ​​a chur ar dhóiteáin agus tú féin agus daoine eile a chosaint. Tóg am chun breathnú thart, na rioscaí a aithint, agus fanacht ullamh. Tosaíonn sábháilteacht ó dhóiteán le feasacht.

Le linn na Seachtaine um Shábháilteacht ó Dhóiteán, cuirfidh Seirbhís Dóiteáin Chill Dara sábháilteacht ó dhóiteán chun cinn trí chomhairle agus leideanna simplí praiticiúla a roinnt. Ba mhaith linn go roinnfeá iad seo le comharsana, le cairde agus le do theaghlach, ionas gur féidir linn go léir páirt a ghlacadh chun ár bpobail a choinneáil sábháilte ó dhóiteán.
