Warning to Kildare householders to close all doors at night to prevent fire spreading

Kildare householders have been warned to close all doors at night to prevent a fire spreading.

Sealed rooms will starve any fire of oxygen and limit its ability to move to other areas.

Dublin Fire Brigade said:

"A closed door is the most effective way of stopping fire and smoke spreading in the event of a fire.

"Even a standard door will give you and your family time to escape safely.

"Get in to a habit of closing doors in your home when you are leaving and especially at night".
