Two upcoming Birmingham musicians have joined forces with fire alarm manufacturer, Fire Angel, to raise money for the national charity the Children’s Burns Trust.
Andy Lawrence Flynn and Dan Hodges from Wolverhampton, decided to launch a charity single to make people aware of the fantastic cause.
The single, ‘Never Be Alone’ has been written and produced by Andy Lawrence Flynn and Dan Hodges and was recorded at Attic Music. When composing the song the duo were inspired by conversations with the team at the Children’s Burns Trust and wanted a song which encompassed how young burns victims may feel.
Alison Tweddle from The Children’s Burns Trust, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Andy, Dan and Fire Angel on this single. The success of our charity is dependent on the kind donations of people to ensure that we can offer burns survivors both rehabilitation and financial support, as well as helping us to raise awareness of the important messages around prevention and good first aid”.
Speaking of the single launch Jess Pennington, Campaign Manager for Fire Angel, said; “The Children’s Burns Trust is a fantastic charity and we are delighted to be helping them raise awareness of their activity.
“The campaign will also help make people aware of the importance of fire safety in the home, especially in the run up to Christmas when candles and decorative lights become more prevalent in the home.
“Unfortunately a high majority of burns incidents occur in the home but the risk of a fire incident can be dramatically reduced by regularly checking and replacing a fire alarm.
“Many people don’t realise that smoke alarm sensors will degrade over time, leading to a reduced sensitivity in detecting heat or smoke, as a result they should be replaced every ten years.
“In order for a smoke alarm to be certified by European safety standards, they need to have a replace by date on the alarm.”
