Staff from Bevan Brittan LLP solicitors helped promote fire safety messages to Hartcliffe residents when they teamed up with firefighters from Avon Fire & Rescue Service (AF&RS) recently.

 

The seven-strong team joined fire crews and staff from the service’s Community Safety department as part of a nation-wide volunteer day.

 

During the visits, the group talked to residents about fire safety and also helped to install smoke detectors in properties.

 

Area Manager Brian McCutcheon from AF&RS said: “We are delighted that Bevan Brittan’s employees chose to help us in our work to help make our community safer.

 

“We hope that as well as encouraging local residents to think more about staying safe, that they learned a little about fire safety too!”

 

Bevan Brittan LLP Chief Executive Andrew Manning added: "This was one of the most ambitious firm-wide projects we have undertaken and involved nearly 300 staff including partners, fee earners, secretaries and support staff."

 

He added: "It was also a wonderful opportunity for the firm to be able to give something back to our clients and, most importantly, to many of the communities around us."
