Did you know that there is no statutory requirement to have visual fire  alarms in public buildings?

This is putting the safety of many people , including Deaf and Hard of Hearing at risk. 

Recently Dean Buckley, a Deaf Student at Auckland University, was left alone during a fire drill.

Visual Fire Alarms benefit everyone including people wearing headphones to the fire alarm flashes.

Please sign our petition to make it a statutory requirement for all public buildings to have visual fire alarms in New Zealand.
