Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service

Proud Dad moment. A few weeks ago Isla entered the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service colouring in competition for children of colleagues across the Service; and she only went and won it! So her colouring is in the official Service Christmas card and she got awarded a hamper of goodies, presented to her last week at Fordingbridge fire station. The crew gave up their time to show her around and give her a fantastic evening; and our Communications & Engagement Team went the extra mile to arrange various things. I’m proud to work with so many passionate, giving and community focused colleagues; and obviously super proud of Isla as well! 🚒🎄✍️

In the busy build-up to Christmas lots of businesses store higher levels of stock and it can be easy to forget the fire safety implications of this. Our Fire Safety Inspectors will be busy over the next few weeks spot-checking premises to make sure they’re still fire compliant. Please remember they are there to support you with fulfilling your fire safety requirements, not to interfere with your trade. Follow our festive fire safety tips for businesses and don’t forget you may also need to update your fire risk assessment for the festive period.
