 We're at Shaun and Kylie's property where unfortunately they had a house fire back in early April. Smoke alarms helped the family get out safely. The scenario could have been much different if they did not have working smoke alarms. The sound of the fire alerted Shaun but also the smoke alarms woke the family and they're able to evacuate safely. I was alerted to a large bang that woke me and the smoke alarms went off. I realised that I couldn't do anything about the fire but I needed to get everybody out and as I went to each bedroom to evacuate my children and my wife they were already awake and moving and getting out of bed and so on so the smoke alarms had done their job. The message really today is about our campaign around bedroom essentials. Having working smoke alarms in bedrooms and in living areas in our houses 72% of fatalities in fires occur in bedrooms and in living areas. In Victoria only 17% of our households have working smoke alarms installed in bedrooms and living areas. Little as $17 you can give you and your family the greatest chance of survival. Everyone should have interconnected smoke alarms so that when one smoke alarm operates they will operate. That gives people the best chance to get out of a house fire. The actions of Shaun and his family were absolutely spot on. He was alerted to the fire and got the family out and called 000 straight away which we believe was a strong contributor to saving the property. It's the most harrowing experience. You see the fire and that's really frightening and so then you just fixated on well first of all can you do anything about it and then realising you can't and then quickly get everybody out to safety get on the phone to 000 and you know see what can be done.
