Background

We want the Uk government to make it a legal requirement for every house hold to own a fire extinguisher. This is to save lives and to help people financially.

Additional details

This petition is about decreasing the risks of a house fire and people dying from fires. Not only can it be used in house holds, but a fire extinguisher can be used in near by fields or woodlands. Fire fighters may not have the time to get to your house, so it is always a wise idea to have a back up option.
