The importance of the Fire and Rescue Service and how we can help?

 

Ancient times

 

The recognition of the importance of fire prevention and firefighting in ancient times was a gradual process, starting with basic efforts to manage fires and culminating in more organized systems. While not as sophisticated as modern Fire and Rescue services, ancient civilizations understood the need for fire control and basic firefighting techniques. 

 

Modern FRS

 

The Fire and Rescue Service is crucial for public safety, playing a vital role in preventing fires and responding to various emergencies. The FRS not only extinguishes fires and rescues people from danger, but also work to prevent fires, provide essential support during road traffic incidents and assist with other emergencies. 

 

Also, the FRS saves public money by focusing on fire prevention, which reduces the need for costly fire response and damage repair. The home safety checks targeting the vulnerable people minimise the future emergencies. 

 

How we can help?

 

We can support the Fire and Rescue Service through various volunteer roles, including conducting safe and well visits, delivering youth programs, and supporting high-profile events. Additionally, residents can actively prepare for emergencies by discussing preparedness with their families and neighbors, and by supporting local organizations during emergencies. Volunteering for retained firefighters is another way to contribute to community safety.
