Prevention and protection advice and support helping keep people, environments and property safe include home safety assessments; advice and help for vulnerable people struggling with rising fuel and utility bills; advice and installation of child safety equipment such as stair gates; support with applications for financial help to grant making bodies; signposting to sources of further help.

Volunteering is one of the most rewarding things you can do and as a BFRS volunteer you’ll be part of a great team making a difference to your local community. We are especially keen to recruit volunteers who can engage with hard to reach and excluded communities. All our volunteers receive a tailored induction and ongoing support from Volunteer Manager and colleagues.

Whether you want to be out and about meeting people or prefer to stay inside and use your IT know-how, we have volunteering opportunities to suit varying skills, experience and availabilities.
