12、: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Id like to begin by quoting a few figures at you. 55, 887 . 8, 500 . and 1,000 degrees centigrade. That is the number of house fires reported last year, the number of people killed or injured in those fires, and the temperature of the flames given off by some ite
13、ms of furniture within 30 seconds of a fire starting.All rather alarming. I think youd agree. Well, what can we do to prevent these tragedies? In the fire prevention service we have three golden rules which we call “awareness“,“precautions“, and “escape“. Id like to start by dealing with the first o
14、f these -“awareness“.In the average home there are about half a dozen fire hazards or risk factors which we should all be aware of. Now the primary hazard is the electrical circuit. A lot of us live in older houses, and if your wiring is more than 15 years old, it may not be Up to modern safety stan
15、dards. Check that you have a functioning fuse-box, and if youre in any doubt, you really ought to get it looked at by a qualified electrician.Electrical appliances come second on my list, and rm thinking in particular of televisions and electric blankets. Some of you may not know that a colour telev
16、ision can generate over 2_0,000 volts, and this voltage can be retained for quite some time after a set has been switched off. So always switch off and disconnect from the mains when you finish watching. And dont put a TV in front of curtains or soft furnishings.The electric blanket is no longer the
17、 danger it was years ago, but it was the cause of 14 fatalities last year, so I think it is still important to remember not to fold them and certainly not to use one if it accidentally gets wet.I just mentioned soft furnishings and this is a hazard which I want to emphasise. Many of you may have sof
18、as and armchairs made before 1989 -when the new fire safety regulations came in. Now these may contain polyurethane foam fillings. You probably know that these fillings can give off extremely poisonous fumes in a fire, so if you do have this kind of furniture you should either get rid of it or have
19、it recovered with flame-retardant cloth -which is now widely available and not expensive.OK, Id like to say a few words now about open fires. Recently weve noticed quite a fashion to return to open fires, especially in older houses. Obviously this is quite a hazard, and there are one or two fairly o
20、bvious things to be aware of. Firstly you should always use a fire guard in front of the fireplace, and make sure its a fairly sturdy one. Secondly, never dry wet clothes in front of the fire.To be honest, if you have young children I think youre better off bricking the fire up and investing in cent
21、ral heating -it might not be so romantic on a winter evening but its certainly a lot safer.The final thing I want to draw your attention to is aerosols and bottles. Aerosols and bottles often contain flammable liquid or gas, so these should never be left in direct sunlight -on a window ledge for exa
22、mple.Youd be surprised at how quickly sunlight can heat up a pressurised container and lead to a fire.So keep them in a cupboard or away from windows. Right, Id like to go on now to the area of “precautions“. Smoke detectors are perhaps the most common.(2).The major fire hazard is that a lot of peop

Renata Cohen has brought us this report from the scene:RENATA COHEN: Im standing outside the main gate of Manchesters Strangeways prison. Smoke is billowing overhead and I can see a numbe
44、r of prisoners on the roof of the chapel. At the moment there appears to be a great deal of confusion over the situation inside the prison. This morning a squadron of riot police entered the prison followed by firemen who managed to control a blaze in the gymnasium block, but it is still not clear w
45、hether the smoke we can see is the result of this or if other parts of the complex are on fire.We have seen dozens of ambulances entering and leaving the building but the Home Office spokesman has refused to confirm reports of at least eleven dead and fifty wounded.

47、attempts to remove them.The riot appears to have started during the Sunday morning service in the chapel, one of the few times when the men are gathered together in one area. I spoke to one prison officer earlier today who claimed that trouble had been brewing for several months, mainly due to sever
