Mid & West Wales Fire & Rescue Working Closely with Community Partners
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service are working closely with their Community Partners to encourage the public to take advantage of the FREE Home Fire Safety Check service we provide. We want to continue to deliver a high level of public service, focusing on getting important safety messages to our communities.
We are working alongside local Councils so that that their websites, as well as community websites have a link set up to inform visitors that we provide Home Fire Safety Checks. A Home Fire Safety Check is a visit by a member of the Fire Service to your home to provide home fire safety advice and supply and install FREE smoke alarms. These checks are the cornerstone of the proactive role we adopt in our drive to reduce the deaths and injuries that are caused by accidental fires in the home.
We hope that everyone will take advantage of this free service. If you have a Community website and would like to help by placing the FREE link on your website, please contact Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue service on 03706060699.
You can request a FREE Home Fire Safety Check for yourself or a dependant relative by visiting http://www.mawwfire.gov.uk/ or by contacting the Service on 0800 169 1234 or by clicking on the links on your local Council / Community websites,. You can also Text the word 'HFSC' followed by your name to 88365. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you can type the word 'deaf' after your name before sending the text to the same number (88365), and a member of the fire service will contact you within 3 working days.
