Community conversations

How it works

Our friendly experts will share helpful fire safety tips to keep you safer in your home and community. We’d also like to hear about anything else fire service related that’s on your mind, and ask your opinion about ideas we’ve got too.

• Listen to seasonal fire safety advice from a fire service officer.
• Ask your questions about fire concerns.
• Tell us what you think about our ideas.
• Bring drinks and biscuits!

The events will take place on Microsoft Teams and each will last an hour. We’ll start with a 10-minute presentation on seasonal fire safety advice, followed by a general discussion and question and answer session.
