The Community Fire Safety Team provides a central focus and framework of support for the development, co-ordination and facilitation of Brigade Community Fire Safety campaigns, resources and guidance.

The Team’s primary aims are to:

  • Help to achieve a reduction in fire related death, injury and damage to home in accordance with Brigade corporate policies.
  • Develop Community Fire Safety awareness; sharing and promoting 'good practice' and evaluation as an integral part of the management of fire risk and the reduction in fires.
  • Develop, implement and support Fire Service personnel in the delivery of the Brigade Education Programme.
  • Work with the wider Brigade and other stakeholders to plan and develop effective fire safety programmes and partnerships, focusing on people and communities at greatest risk.

The CFS provides a central coordinating role for the Home Fire Risk Assessments (HFRA) which are then resourced by local fire crews.  For more information, simply click on the HFRA logo. 

This safety check will look at all areas of accident and fire risk within your home. West Midlands Fire Service will advise you on the installation and maintenance of smoke alarms and also give advice and information on how to stay safe from fire, including kitchen hazards, safe disposal of smoking materials, candles, heaters, electric blankets and dangers from harmful substances.
