Learning Resources for home

Learning materials
White

The Fire Prevention Training Team at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has created some exciting learning materials to help you at home and give your children something different and engaging to do. With more people at home, we are all more at risk of fire within the home. Use these resources to help your families learn about fire safety and have some fun whilst doing them together.

You will find fun activities for everyone in your family, just download and enjoy.

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 that 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.

If you would like to book a visit to your school, please call 0800 587 4536 or email school.resources@westyorksfire.gov.uk
