Help put a stop to deliberate fires this summer

With the start of the summer school holidays, Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) is urging parents to warn children of the dangers of fire and the potentially life-threatening consequences of deliberate fire setting.
You can help by following some important safety tips to prevent fires starting in the first place:
  • Don't discard cigarettes out of car windows as this can set light to grass verges and
    grassland areas
  • Don't light fires in the countryside or drop litter which could be set fire to
  • Don't accumulate rubbish which can act as potential fuel for deliberate fire setters
