The Importance Survey 2009

Throughout April, Avon Fire & Rescue Service (AF&RS) carried out a major survey of its communities - to ask them what is important about their local fire and rescue service.

Questions included how quickly the service responds in an emergency, how much the fire and rescue service costs and how well we work with partner agencies.

The findings will help AF&RS prepare for the Audit Commission's new audit programme of Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) and will feed into the Integrated Risk Management Plans to shape the future of AF&RS.

Escape Routes
Escape Routes
If there was a fire would you and your family know how to get out? The best way out of your home is the way you regularly come in, but make sure you have other escape routes in case it is blocked. Make sure escape routes are clear of obstacles.
