Never leave cooking or any other open flame including candles or oil burners unattended.
Clean the lint filter of your clothes dryer each and every time you use it.
Never smoke in bed and take extra care if consuming alcohol whilst smoking.
In Winter take extra care when using heaters, electric blankets or open fires.
Dont overload power points and switch off appliances when not in use.
Always keep lighters and matches away from children and educate them that they are tools not toys to only be used by responsible adults.
