​Fire Safety Campaign July 2026​

You will be aware of the recent Met Office amber weather warnings in Norfolk. As you can imagine, this hot weather increases the likelihood of outdoor fires and the threat of wildfire – Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service have had to deal with a higher than usual number of outdoor fires so far this year.

The Norfolk Fire & Rescue are currently running a  safety campaign  in conjunction with the Norfolk Resilience Forum, which brings together organisations across the county to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. Please visit their website for information on steps that our community, household, and business can take to prepare for emergencies.
