House Fires

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:08): Supplementary question: given the high number of house fires which start in kitchens, can the minister indicate whether the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service has a kitchen fire demonstration unit such as that used in New South Wales communities by the Metropolitan Fire Service in that state?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:09): I am not familiar with the New South Wales facility, but I am more than happy to make those inquiries for the Hon. Mr Dawkins. What I would say is that the MFS, and also the CFS, works collaboratively with other organisations like the Julian Burton Burns Trust to make sure that we are getting messages out to the community to try to avoid fires. I know some of those efforts in terms of messaging in the past have been around kitchen fires, but I am more than happy to make inquiries around the New South Wales facility that the honourable member refers to, which I am not familiar with, and get the information for him.
