Live House Burn returns to nation’s screens

Live House Burn returns to nation’s screens

The controlled live house burn will show first-hand the dangers of incorrectly charging lithium-ion battery products, how fast fire can spread and the importance of escape plans and interconnected smoke alarms.

The house involved has been earmarked for demolition by the owner and donated to Fire and Emergency for community education purposes. Robust safety protocols are in place and the street itself will be cordoned off to traffic and nearby residents will be able to watch the burn from a safe distance.

Tune in with your friends and whānau to watch Seven Sharp at 7pm on Tuesday 15 August.
