The Home Office has launched a new 'Fire Kills' advertising
campaign to raise awareness of everyday fire risks that are present
in the home and encourage all householders in England to test their
smoke alarms regularly.
The advertising campaign signposts householders to the Fire Kills website which provides hints and
tips on staying fire safe in the home.
The Home Office has also produced a briefing pack for social
landlords which has more information on the campaign and how ARCH
member councils can support it, assist in raising the profile of
fire safety and help keep their tenants safe in their homes.
The pack contains resources, including posters, images for
social media channels, and suggested posts which ARCH member
councils can use to promote the campaign to their staff and tenants
through tenant newsletters and your own communication channels.

information pack.
The Home Office has also made available five 10-second 'Fire
Kills' campaign videos which ARCH members can access via the Home Office website.The
videos show fire risks, including candles, overloaded plug sockets,
and cigarettes and we would encourage ARCH member councils to use
the videos in their own fire safety activities.
