“It is crucial to adopt legislative measures at the European Union level and to set minimal standards for a better protection against fires and their consequences. I very much appreciate the efforts of Fire Safe Europe to find solutions and thus to save thousands of lives, which are lost in fire each year all across the EU.”

Vladimir Manka, MEP

“For me, fire safety means saving lives. Nothing is more important than this. It is that simple, the rest is only chatter.”

Pavel Poc, MEP

“We spend 90% of our time in buildings – our homes, offices, hospitals, schools, hotels, public buildings – and these are the places where 90% of fires take place. The number of people killed or hospitalised with serious injuries as a result of building fires is unacceptable and yet, we are surrounded by fire risk every day. Recognising this is the first step in addressing the issue. It’s time to take a serious effective action.”

Olga Sehnalova, MEP
