Fire stations across Australia will have different community programs across the different states. In New South Wales, the Fire Department will organize a home fire and safety check for community members that are statistically at a higher risk of incidents. These people include – over 65s, people who live alone, people with limited mobility or impaired vision and hearing or anyone from non-English-speaking backgrounds. On these visits they will provide smoke alarms or replace smoke alarms at no charge if properties do not have any or they have expired.
