🚨 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗮𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝘁 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗗𝗮𝘆!🚨 Deze dag is een initiatief van de European Fire Safety Alliance en de Federation of European Fire Officers, met één helder doel: levens redden. Wist je dat veel slachtoffers bij woningbranden voorkomen hadden kunnen worden met een goed werkende rookmelder? Een rookmelder geeft je de tijd die je nodig hebt om jezelf en je gezin in veiligheid te brengen. 𝗪𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝘇𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗸? 👉 Bij brand telt elke seconde: gemiddeld heb je drie minuten om te vluchten... 👉 Rook is giftig en verspreidt zich razendsnel. 👉Zonder rookmelders wordt een brand vaak pas te laat opgemerkt. 𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝘂𝗻 𝗷𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝗻 𝘃𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗱? • Controleer en onderhoud rookmelders regelmatig. • Zorg dat je rookmelders minstens plaatst volgens de NEN 2555 (of volgens één van onze drie niveaus van vluchtveiligheid). • Koppel de melders om ervoor te zorgen dat een alarm overal in huis goed te horen is.

✅️ Yesterday I was present at the high-level political discussion with the key policy makers in Europe at the heart of European decision-making to discuss the to-do's to make Europe 'firesafe'. ⚠️ And there is a lot of work to be done to create a fire-safe(r) environment for the most vulnerable people, the elderly and children in society. 🤝 It is in any case a combination of efforts made by governments, Europe, industry and the citizens themselves. ⚠️ The most striking thing is that the most vulnerable in society live in the most unsafe homes and apartments, with -perhaps- the least access to preventive measures. They are therefore the ones who benefit most from all the efforts made in this regard. 🔥 Because 5,000 fatalities in house fires every year, which may still be an underestimation, is simply far too many! 🤝 So let's join forces and work towards a fire-safe society for everyone! Thank you Theresa Griffin for hosting this beautiful event at the European Parliament and to help keeping fire safety beautiful! What can YOU do as a citizen? 👉 Install smoke (and CO) alarms 👉 Create an evacuation plan (and exercise it with your family) 👉 Live firesafe #EuropeanSmokeAlarmDay #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives #SmokeAlarmDay #EUFSW24 #firesafety #FireSafeEurope 👉 https://lnkd.in/eda843kj European Fire Safety Alliance - FEU Fire Officers - Nederlands Instituut Publieke Veiligheid (NIPV) - Oscare vzw - Leef Brandveilig - Netwerk Brandweer - European Burns Association (EBA) - Nederlandse Brandwonden Stichting - Stichting Brandwonden - Fondation des brûlés - European Commission - ANEC - Euralarm - Forum for European Electrical Domestic Safety - Fire Safe Europe (FSEU)

🔔 Today is European Smoke Alarm Day – Let's Make Every Home Safer! 🔔 Every year, 5,000 lives are lost in Europe due to fires, and countless others suffer life-altering injuries. These tragedies are preventable with simple measures: smoke alarms and CO (carbon monoxide) sensors. As winter approaches, the risk of fire and CO poisoning increases. Now is the time to install and test your alarms and ensure they’re ready to protect you and your loved ones. Don’t think “It won’t happen to me". Fire and CO incidents can affect anyone—but they don’t have to end in tragedy. During this European Fire Safety Week, Euralarm has joined forces with key stakeholders including MEP's , European Commission, the European Fire Safety Alliance ,ANEC and Oscare and other European associations to spread awareness about the importance of home safety. But we need your help to amplify this message: 👉 Talk to your family, friends, and colleagues about installing smoke and CO sensors. 👉 Remind them: these devices are affordable, easy to install, and save lives. 👉 Together, we can prevent senseless loss and ensure safer communities across Europe. 👉  Talk and Plan: Sit down with your family to discuss what to do if the alarm goes off—create an escape plan, identify exits, and choose a safe meeting spot outside your home. Let’s make safety a priority—because prevention starts with awareness. #EuropeanSmokeAlarmDay #FireSafety #COAwareness #TestYourAlarms #SaveLives If you want to help increasing awareness on fire safety please share this message in your network
