The speed and efficiency with which the Fire and Rescue Service responds to incidents remains vital, but the most effective way to save lives and reduce injuries and other losses is to reduce the number of incidents that actually occur in the first place.

Community Safety is about achieving these goals through pro-active education involving a wide range of initiatives aimed at promoting a safe environment from fires, road traffic collisions and other emergencies.

This pro-active education is delivered by operational and dedicated corporate community fire safety personnel either in people’s homes whilst carrying out home fire risk assessments or by talking to members of the public through our attendance at fetes / galas.
