CHESHIRE Fire Service has launched a new fire safety DVD aimed at youngsters.

A Key Stage 2 learning tool, Escape to Safety focuses on the dangers of fire, how to prevent fires and what to do in the event of a fire.

Chief fire officer Steve McGuirk said: “We are continually looking for new, exciting and informative ways to deliver key fire safety information.

“By getting the message across at an early age it will help reduce childrens’ fascination of fire in later life.”
