 | Start the new decade with a positive action to fit a smoke alarm and test it routinely to avoid drowning, not in the cut, but in the toxic smoke of a boat fire. According to the latest Fire Kills campaign, in just two to three breaths of toxic smoke from a fire on your boat, you could be unconscious. In recent years four people have died in boat fires at night or when they have been asleep and a working smoke alarm could have helped them to escape. Find out more about fitting a smoke alarm on our fire portal. |
