| dc.description | This Guide brings together relevant Fire Safety information, advice, guidance and fire safety standards applicable to existing Traveller accommodation into a single reference document.
It has been prepared to assist Local Authorities in conducting a National Review of Fire Safety in Traveller Accommodation. This National Review was announced in the aftermath of a fire at a halting site on the Glenamuck Road, Carrickmines, Dublin in the early hours of 10 October 2015 which killed 10 people from the same extended family, including 5 adults and 5 children. This tragic loss of life highlights the critical importance of fire safety in Traveller accommodation.
The material detailed in this document aims to provide information and guidance to organisations such as the Local Authority and the Fire Service who interface with the Traveller Community in developing a consistent and effective approach regarding Fire Safety. The objective of this Guide is “Life Safety“ where it provides practical and appropriate fire safety information and standards regarding Traveller accommodation. This information can contribute to preventing loss of life and serious injury. Prevention is at the heart of any Fire Safety campaign involving education and information on how to reduce the occurrence of fire. Through these measures it is intended to inform and assist the Traveller Community in protecting themselves and their families from the dangers of fire by setting out best practice regarding fire safety in Traveller dwellings and halting sites.
This Guide has been developed through consultation and engagement with all the various stakeholders. The assistance of representatives of the various Traveller Organisations, Fire Services and Local Authority personnel in the preparation of this Guide is acknowledged | en |
