Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service - Preventing, Protecting, Responding

Older Persons Fire Safety

Older persons campaign

Shockingly, Staffordshire lost 4 of its elderly community to house fires last year. Older people are the most likely to die in house fires.

That is why we are asking for everybody's help to keep an eye out for their elderly relatives, friends and neighbours.
