Community fire safety

The Brigade's community fire safety work involves working with local communities to address fire safety issues in their area.

For a long time, we have aimed to educate people about the dangers of fire, using a mixture of approaches. 

Fire station staff play a pivotal role in CFS work. Firefighters know which parts of their station's local area have people living or working there who are most at risk from fire. They are best placed to reduce the number of fires through education and getting our key messages across.

Free home fire safety visits

We want you to be safe and sound. We're carrying out free home fire safety visits in your borough and we'll also fit a free smoke alarm where needed. Find out more about our Be Safe and Sound campaign.

Our CS strategy is now part of the London Safety Plan and Corporate Plan it sets out how we will work more closely with the community and other organisations in educating people on how to make their homes safer.

We have published a report, Fire deaths in London 1996 - 2000, which for the first time investigates fire deaths in the capital over five years. Find out more...
