New Lighting More than 70 deaths each year 1,500 injuries each year. Millions of dollars worth of property damage in Australia
Tragically, each year in Australia there are over 10,000 house fires resulting in more than 70 deaths, 1,500 injuries and millions of dollars worth of property damage.
These kinds of fires happen all too frequently, and the fact is, they happen fast. A house can be literally razed to the ground in less than 15 minutes. That’s why it’s essential for every home to be fitted with a sufficient number of appropriate and suitably placed mains powered smoke alarms.
Installing a high quality smoke alarm ensures your peace of mind by offering you 24 hour a day protection for your family and home against fire and smoke. The early warning that a smoke alarm provides means less chance of major damage and, more importantly, less chance of lives being lost
