Deputy Premier and Minister for Emergency Services Peter Ryan today urged Victorians to be vigilant against fire this winter when the likelihood of house fires can increase by up to 20 per cent.

Mr Ryan joined a young burns victim at the Royal Children’s Hospital burns unit to officially launch the joint CFA and MFB Winter Fire Safety campaign and warn Victorians about the high fire safety risks this time of year.

He said the Winter Fire Safety campaign would use a combination of advertising and educational materials that focused on fire prevention in the home.

“The CFA and MFB will be targeting key community groups including schools and maternal child health centres as well as vulnerable groups such as the elderly,” Mr Ryan said.
