The theme of this year's national fire safety week is that here's a quick and easy guide to what's involved and the information you need to protect you and your family from fire hazards.
Ireland kills an average of 36 people a year.
House fires account for the vast majority of fire deaths.
Very young people and older people are particularly vulnerable, and these groups account for almost half of the deaths in the country.
Families, relatives and friends of vulnerable and elderly people are required to ensure that they have work smoke alarms and that they have awareness of fire safety.
The national fire safety week marks the beginning of an intensive media advertising campaign that will last through the spring 2015.
The campaign aims to promote the prevention and protection of fire safety actions by the elderly, directly and in contact with the elderly and people in the wider community.

Moke alarmsest smoke alarm vious lyvious slan your evaders here are the faults of each of these key and truly important points: there are two types of smoke alarms-
"Ionization" and "optics ". 1.
Ionization Smoke alarm: the cheapest and most common type.
Very sensitive to the tiny smoke produced by "burning" flames such as chip pans.
I will detect this type of fire before the smoke gets too strong. 2.
Optical smoke is expensive but more effective in detecting larger particles from "slow"
Burn fires such as "burning foam orP. V. C. wiring.
For maximum protection, there is a smoke alarm in each room except for the bathroom, kitchen and garage.
When smoke from cooking or smoke from cigarettes or open flames may result in the activation of unnecessary alarms, hot alarms can be considered.
For minimal protection, there is a smoke alarm on each floor of your home.
As close as possible to the ceiling in the center of the room.
Remember your ability to hear smoke alerts when you close at night.
The purpose of the smoke alarm is to give an early warning of the fire outbreak!
When the smoke alarm starts, it is critical that you and your family know what to do.
The smoke alarm requires only minimal maintenance, but make sure it works when needed: Test the smoke alarm once a week by pressing and holding the test button until it is activated.
Vacuum every six months, brush the shell once and remove dust.
Replace the battery every year.
Change the smoke alarm every ten years.
Look for obvious dangers.
The "routine fire safety check" takes only a few minutes, but it may mean the difference between life and death.
Walk around your house to keep your home safe.
Unplug all unnecessary electrical plugs.
Shut down all unnecessary gas equipment.
Make sure all candles and bare flames are extinguished.
Place a spark guard before any open fire.

• Close all doors to reduce the spread of fire and smoke.
In the event of a fire, make a "evacuation plan" for you and your family ".
If there is a fire in your home, you may have to go out in dark and difficult conditions.
This can be particularly challenging if your family members are very young, older or weak.
If you have planned your escape route and know where to go, it will be much easier to escape the fire: get everyone in the house involved, including those who visit your home. The normal way out is the first choice. Keep the escape route away from obstacles. Keep doors and windows keys available immediately. Protect the escape route inside by closing all doors, especially in the evening, use the agreed plan exercises to choose a safe gathering place outside to let everyone know how to call the fire service national fire safety week a very important world in the surrounding fire service calendar.
