"An education initiative encouraging children in remote areas to be fire safe, has been launched at Parliament House. Education Minister Marion Scrymgour said the NT Fire and Rescue Service’s Smart Sparx program aimed to reduce the number of burn injuries suffered by children in remote communities. Fire is a regular part of daily life in remote communities and it’s important that children are aware of the dangers,” Ms Scrymgour said.
We don’t want children hospitalised with burns as a result of walking on old camp fires or sleeping too close to a camp fire."
