Boat Fire Safety Check Scheme |
 | | | ||
In response to the increasing risk of fire on Warwickshire's waterways, Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service has introduced a Boat Fire Safety Check scheme, using operational personnel to deliver key fire safety information to boaters. The Service has recently attended a number of boat fires, some of which have been life threatening and are keen to ensure that those using the waterways do so in a safe manner. The intention of the scheme is to raise awareness of boaters to the dangers of fire breaking out and the simple preventative measures that can be taken to minimise the risk. The initiative has been produced in consultation with the Boat Safety Scheme and has already attracted interest from a number of Fire and Rescue Services. The Service is hoping that the scheme will be adopted nationally. | ||||
