Cornwall Fire and Rescue
Service recognises its responsibility in contributing towards
working together to make Cornwall safer. We constantly develop
strategies to provide fire safety messages throughout
life.
In partnership with other Council departments and services, we
support those in need from the communities we serve. We contribute
directly towards Every Child Matters through educational and
intervention packages that meet the needs of pre-school through to
university students.
We are committed to educating the community, children and young
people in terms of fire safety, but also address issues such as
anti social behaviour, which has an impact on community safety.
We deliver our work through an education agenda that
includes the following schemes and projects below:
Community Fire Safety Advisors
(CFSA's)
The CFSA's have been visiting schools in Cornwall since 2000 to
give information and advice to children on the danger of fire in a
fun but informative way.

train alongside the local fire and rescue service.

good citizenship through active participation in a range of
scenarios.
