A senior fire officer is urging more householders to have smoke alarms fitted in a bid to help protect them from the risk of fire and save lives.

The call, from Dave Turton, Hartlepool District Manager with Cleveland Fire Brigade, comes after figures for last year (2011/12) show that only half of Hartlepool homes had working smoking alarms when the Brigade attend accidental house fires.

Cleveland Fire Brigade is appealing for organisations and individuals raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity by taking part in a golf event during the summer.

Cleveland Fire Brigade is reaching out to deaf and hard of hearing communities this Deaf Awareness Week (7th – 13th May) to ensure they have effective smoke alarms.
