Early Fire Safe is a partnership program with Maternal and Child Health which aims to address fire, scalds and burns risks for babies and young children.
Young children aged 0 to 4 are at higher risk of:
- home fire fatalities
- burn and scald injuries
- impacts from bushfire
In some Council areas, new-parent groups will include an Early Fire Safe education session. Community centres and groups can contact their nearest CFA regional office to find out more about the session.
Parents and carers
Improve home fire safety for your baby and young children:
- Have a working smoke alarm, that is less than 10 years old where your baby and young children sleep.
to improve planning and preparedness with babies and young children.
