Together we can save a life

I’m Paul Scott, Senior Fire Safety Manager for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

With the seasons changing and winter rapidly approaching, I wanted to take this opportunity to once again appeal to everyone in North Wales to help support us in our work to keep our communities safe this winter.

You may remember that earlier this year I launched the ‘You Can Save a Life’ campaign, which appealed to everyone to help protect the most vulnerable within our communities. The support and positive response has been overwhelming, and I would like to thank you all for responding so well.

However, tragically people are still losing their lives in Wales because of fires in the home.

We want everyone to take a few minutes to check on those people who could be more vulnerable from fire - they could be a neighbour, relative or someone you care for. 

Lots of us have elderly or vulnerable people in our lives who could do with a little extra help from time to time – and by making sure they have a smoke alarm on every floor of their home you could be saving a life.
