Fire safety messages in British Sign Language (BSL)
(external website)
It is estimated that 15% of the population has some degree of
deafness - that’s about 150,000 people in the Avon area, of these
people over 1,000 are British Sign Language users
Avon Fire & Rescue Service has teamed up with Deafstation, from
the University of Bristol, to bring you these videos in BSL.
This helps us take fire safety messages to a wider audience.
Take a look around the site, where you can find BSL videos on
general fire safety, including planning an escape route and smoking
safely, plus you can use the site to learn some basic BSL.
Thanks to Carolyn Nabarro for her help with the videos
