Hundreds of primary school students across Clare will receive fire safety awareness lessons during the coming months.
The sessions are being held as part of "Safety Team", a nationwide programme designed to teach third class children to educate their families about fire safety and about protecting homes and communities from fire.

The programme is being administered locally by Clare County Fire & Rescue Service and aims to educate children at a young age of the dangers of false alarms and arson.
Assistant Chief Fire Officer Colum Frawley says the programme is beneficial for children.
