In County Durham kids are learning the dangers of fires in the home with the help of a “time machine”.

The Display travels back in time to show how a fire starts as part of a ongoing fire safety campaign across the region, it is aimed to make kids aware of potential Hazards. The display is shown to 10 year old children by the Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service.

The display begins with a major house fire using audio visual effects; it travels back in time to the moment the fire starts in a bedroom. Other messages are also passed out during the display, like the dangers of railway lines, electrical safety and crime awareness.

Member of the County Durham and Darlington Combined Fire Authority, Councillor John Robinson stated:

“The “time machine set” delivers vital fire safety messages using theatrical technology to young members of our community, to help them remember the potentially life saving advice for both themselves and their families.”
