Suffolk Resilience Forum - 06 January 2010
Members of the Suffolk Resilience Forum, including Suffolk
County Council, Suffolk Constabulary, NHS Suffolk, and district and
borough councils, are working together once again to ensure the
county’s residents stay safe during the current adverse weather
conditions.
The Forum is issuing a series of key messages and top tips to let
people in the county know what’s being done to deal with the bad
weather and how they can keep safe in the snow and ice.
Take fire safety precautions – advice from Suffolk Fire and
Rescue Service:
- Portable heaters, open fires and candles can be dangerous, so
please take care when using them.
- Keep space heaters and candles away from curtains and other
material that could catch light easily, and never leave them
unattended.
- Keep lighters and matches away from children. Store these
securely when not in use.
- If you have an open fire, protect your home from sparks by
using a fire screen.
- Burn only seasoned wood, and don’t burn rubbish. Add wood
carefully; sparks can escape into the room while the screen is
open.
