Why do you need to think about fire safety when you just want to relax and enjoy yourself?

Times when people get together and celebrate - at a party, say, or a religious festival - are times when there are more deaths and injuries from fires.

You're relaxed or distracted, you're cooking in a rush, there are more people than usual in your home, people are drinking or smoking. Your home is decorated, you have put up extra lights and candles. All the usual risks get bigger. So you need to be extra careful.

This section highlights what to watch out for and what steps you can take.
