She launched the Government's hard-hitting Christmas Fire Safety Campaign 'Tis the Season to be Careful that urges people to celebrate safely by reminding them of the risks and providing twelve tips for festive fire safety. Furthermore, official statistics also show that smoke alarm ownership amongst African & Caribbean communities is nearly eight percent lower than the national average.
