South Bristol residents are being given an opportunity to gain vital fire safety advice while they enjoy afternoon tea courtesy of Avon Fire & Rescue Service on Tuesday 14 August.

 

Firefighters from Bedminster Blue Watch will be on hand to answer queries about cutting the risk of fire in the home during the event at Withywood Community Centre on Queen’s Road from 2pm to 4pm.

 

Those attending will also have a chance to book a Home Fire Safety Visit where Avon Fire & Rescue Service (AF&RS) will fit smoke alarms for free. 

 

And, as part of the event, the first 50 people to bring along their old chip pans will be able to trade them in for a brand new deep fat fryer!

 

Representatives from Age Concern and Avon & Somerset Constabulary will also be attending the event.

 

*If you are unable to attend, but would like to book a free Home Fire Safety Visit, contact AF&RS on 0800 1693 999.
