Cheshire Safety Day 2024

Staff from across Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service are running a range of events across the county on Thursday 12 September to engage the community, deliver vital life-saving advice and contribute towards making Cheshire a safer place to live, work and travel.

Cheshire Safety Day will involve hundreds of firefighters, community safety staff and colleagues from corporate services talk to people about key fire and rescue risks. More than 20 activities will be held in many locations across Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton and Warrington based around the following five safety themes:

• Business Safety – providing guidance to businesses in Chester, Crewe and Warrington to keep them safe from fire and comply with fire safety legislation.

• Home Safety – delivering safe and well visits to people who most at risk of fire in the home across Cheshire 

• Road Safety – events in six locations across the county, focused on giving safety advice to motorists and other road users to help people to stay safe on the road. This includes free tyre checks, drink and drug driving awareness, and advice on the other main causes of road traffic collisions.

• Water Safety – events in Chester, Ellesmere Port and Warrington will provide advice to help people stay safe in and around our waterways.

• CPR Awareness – awareness sessions on Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) are being held in Audlem, Alsager, Malpas, Tarporley and Nantwich to help members of the public feel able to provide this life-saving help as a bystander if they come across somebody having a cardiac arrest.

 The full list of events are provided below. In addition to these, our staff will be out and about across Cheshire delivering safety advice to residents and businesses.
