Partnerships:

The Fire awareness training is also available for our partners and is designed to give an insight into the basics of fire safety in the home, how to spot lifestyle habits / issues which might heighten the fire risk within the property, and what to look out for.

The training will also raise awareness of where our partner organisations can support WYFRS in delivering brief interventions to reduce fire risk whilst in attendance at a property, such as having a brief conversation with the individual about a lifestyle choice or removing a risk factor will all help to reduce the risk of a fire occurring. 10 seconds of advice can reduce or even remove risk.
