The Fire Department of the local Police Force has outlined some safety measures that persons can take to protect themselves against fires, which can destroy lives and property.
The measures were outlined in the wake of a recent spate of fires, which have led, in some cases, to loss of life.
Station Sergeant Michael Bess said that the statistics in relation to fires last year and this year are alarming.
He noted that once there has been a high percentage of house fires, and it is inevitable that someone will be seriously injured or killed in the process.
The Station Sergeant advised persons to be careful when using candles in the home. He also stated that when parents leave their children at home with candles they are setting themselves up for disaster.
