Clear the stove.
Prevent a fire.
Fire Safety week aims to improve fire safety in homes. One out of three residential fires starts on the stove.
In 2026, the campaign focuses on improving home safety for older adults and for people who speak languages other than Finnish or Swedish. A particular goal is to raise awareness of solutions that improve stove safety.
What is
Fire Safety Week?
Fire Safety Week is delivered by a broad network of organizations working to improve safety at homes. The campaign is coordinated by the Finnish National Rescue Association (SPEK) and made possible through funding from the Finnish Fire Protection Fund.
