During the first four days of 2011 five people lost their lives in house fires in Scotland. Tragically the total number of deaths in fires in 2009/10 was 59 and the total number of fires during that year was 38,658. Alarming statistics indeed. Statistics that prove that still not enough is being done to prevent fires and preserve lives.
Fire destroys everything in its path and the causes of fires in the workplace range from faulty wiring to arson. extinguishers should always be on the premises and staff must know how to use them. Any organisation may be affected at any time. A fire warning system must be in place and staff must be told how to respond to it.
