October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month.

Each year on 15th October, there is a global wave of Light, where people across the World Gather at 7pm. Candles, monuments, landmarks, and buildings are lit in the colours pink and blue to mark Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month on Remembrance Day.

Wicklow County Council is once again participating in Féileacáin (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Association of Ireland), which is the National Charity supporting families affected by miscarriage, perinatal loss, stillbirth and neonatal death.

Keep an eye out for some of County Wicklow's landmark buildings that will change colour, such as 19 Arches Bridge, Arklow.

Fire safety starts at home. Wicklow County Fire Service is encouraging everyone to take a few simple steps to help protect themselves and their families.

Remember the four golden rules of home fire safety:
1. Fit and test smoke alarms regularly to ensure they are working.
2. Plan your escape and practise your fire escape plan with everyone in your household.
3. Identify fire hazards – never leave cooking unattended, avoid overloading sockets and keep combustible materials away from heaters.
4. Check before bed – extinguish candles, switch off unused appliances and ensure escape routes are clear.

If a fire breaks out: Get out, stay out and call 999 or 112.

For further information and practical advice, read the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage Fire Safety at Home booklet:
