BE FIRE SAFE AND HIT THE BULLSEYE - Fire Kills campaign teams up with BDO to promote fire safety - The Fire Kills campaign and the British Darts Organisation are joining forces to help prevent fires in homes across the nation. Through its sponsorship of the BDO International Grand Prix, the Fire Kills campaign is hoping that players and fans will boost their fire safety knowledge. The tournament will be broadcast live on Setanta Sports, with the Fire Kills branding prominent on the BDO players’ shirts. In addition there will be on stage signage and promotional material available, with players and fans having the benefit of being able to sign up for a free Home Fire Risk Check at venues.

Sir Ken Knight, Chief Fire and Rescue Advisor said: “The Fire Kills campaign is always looking for new and innovative ways to get our vital messages across to new audiences. We hope that by sponsoring the BDO International Grand Prix, people at the tournaments and watching on television will be reminded of the importance of fire safety in the home. “These fires are completely unpredictable and you could be at a greater risk than you think. However being aware of the risks and taking the simple step of owning and maintaining a smoke alarm could save your life”. Olly Croft OBE, Managing Director of BDO Enterprises Ltd says, “In terms of communicating a vital safety message, this has to be the BDO’s most valuable sponsorship partner. As a family orientated sport we are delighted to be supporting such an important campaign, and communicating vital public safety messages through BDO darts.” Martin Adams, 2007 BDO World Professional Darts Champion and the longest serving England darts captain of all time, adds: “All BDO darts players are aware that our sport can benefit the Fire Kills campaign by drawing attention to basic safety rules and measures in the home environment. Darts is a family orientated sport and we are all family people. For this reason we are delighted to be giving our support to an initiative as important as the Fire Kills campaign.”  For more information on fire safety or to find out more information about free Home Fire Risk Checks, visit www.direct.gov.uk/firekills.
