Many people are unaware of the potential fire hazards and toxic threats that can lurk in fairy lights, candles and flammable Christmas decorations. Figures from the Fire Kills campaign show a rise in the number of accidental fire deaths and injuries over the festive period.

Fire and Rescue Services across the country are urging people to take extra care as they get into the festive spirit this Christmas - dry Christmas trees, decorations and wrapped presents can all provide means for a fire to spread in the home as they act as extra fuel for a potential house fire.

Unsafe and faulty electrical decorations, overloaded plug sockets and unattended candles are all potential causes of fires.

Test your smoke alarm TODAY and follow these safety rules from Fire Kills:

fit smoke alarms on every floor of your home, including in each bedroom

working smoke alarms correctly positioned in your home can save your life

have a plan for how you’d leave your home if your smoke alarms go off – make sure everyone in your home knows what it is

do not paint over a smoke alarm

you need to replace smoke alarms every 10 years

SHARE the post with someone you love who should check their smoke alarm today.

Water beads are bright and colourful, have a lovely squishy feel to them, which makes them very appealing to small children.



When they’re dry they are tiny so can easily be swallowed by a child without anyone realising.



Once they’re absorbed by stomach fluids, they can expand to up to 400 times their original size which poses a serious risk of blocking a child’s bowel.



If a water bead gets stuck in a child’s bowel they will need an operation to remove it. The beads don’t show on an x-ray so they can be very difficult to locate. A child could end up requiring major surgery.



They should be kept away from children under 5 years old but they aren’t sold with safety warnings so if someone buys them for your child this year please don’t allow them to play with them – it’s not worth the risk.



Or better yet – share this post to inform others of the dangers.
