We are actively involved in Community Safety campaigns both at local and national level. Focusing more attention on education, raising awareness amongst the most vulnerable people within the community in order to reduce the suffering caused by fires and other emergencies.

The key to our success is a move from re-active to pro-active intervention

As part of our commitment to your safety at home, SFR are offering you a FREE HOME FIRE SAFETY VISIT, if you don't have a smoke alarm we'll fit one free of charge. This service is carried out by fire fighters from your local fire station. The fire fighters calling will always be in uniform and show an ID card.
