Smoking

Crash and Burn!

Every year over 12,000 people are killed or injured in house fires in the UK.

Smoking is a major associated cause of fires in the home, and subsequent injuries and deaths. West Midlands Fire Service statistics from the past two decades show that half of all fire deaths across this period were attributable to smoking materials with one quarter associated with alcohol.

You can do something to help us. Dowload the leaflet below to see what you can do.

If you know someone who you think may be at risk from fire, you can request a free Home Fire Safety Check from West Midlands Fire Service. Call free: 0800 389 5525, or register via the Free Home Fire Safety Check link on the left hand side of this page.
