Home fire safety advice for people who have a sensory disability can now be downloaded from the web pages of West Sussex County Council Fire and Rescue Service.
On the website is an audio file for people who are blind and a film using sign language made for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
They can be accessed via West Sussex County Council: Home Page, Fire and Rescue Service, Home Fire Safety.
They are also available free of charge on CD-Rom or DVD by contacting the Community Fire Safety team on 01243 752451.
Lionel Barnard, County Council Cabinet Member for Public Protection, said: "This is yet another development reflecting our Fire and Rescue Service's commitment to spreading the home fire and safety message.
"Both the audio file and the film contain valuable information and advice - advice that could be life saving. They are also a valuable teaching tool for when our firefighters go into the community to teach home fire safety to vulnerable residents.
"I would urge friends and relatives of people who have a sensory disability to bring this to their attention if they are not already aware of it."
