This is a national campaign.......there is an exhibition unit in the Fire Station in Darwen which is currently on tour in Lancashire bringing to the attention of the more careless in the community who do in fact make silly mistakes and set fire to houses with a possible loss of life.
This Officer is not only protecting his staff but also the general community.
His officers are the ones who have to clean up the mess, be it smoke damage, injury or fatality.
I don't find his remarks and advice wrong...prevention is better than cure.
These same officers give advice to children at the Fire Station and to the more vulnerable in their homes and they will fit you a free smoke alarm.
I would be inclined to give credit where it's due
