test their smoke alarms regularly to prevent deaths at home.
The incumbent, Euro RSCG London, will not repitch as it is no longer on
the COI roster. Its last fire safety TV campaign, "pull your finger

It featured the actress Julie Walters, who urged viewers to test their
fire alarm before it is too late, while standing in a burnt out

According to government figures, one in three smoke alarms fail because
they do not have working batteries.
A COI spokeswoman confirmed the review. The DCLG head of campaigns and
marketing, David Watson, said: "Procurement regulations mean we have to
part ways with Euro RSCG, but I'm looking forward to discussions with a
number of agencies over the next few weeks."
