⚠️ Did you know? Keeping your escape route clear can make a difference in case of a fire. Take a moment today to check if all exits are obstruction-free and ensure the availability of a safe path for everyone. #FireEmergency #StayPrepared #ClearPathToSafety @DerbyshireFRS

Over the next 3 months our #Business_Safety_Advisors are running their next fire safety campaign. This campaign will focus on awareness around keeping fire escape routes clear and ensuring all fire exit doors are available and operable. @DerbyshireFRS

Nice to see a well attended meeting this morning with @EMCBizNetwork . Well done to all of the young speakers today, you were all brilliant. If you have any fire safety queries please get in touch. @derbyshirefr

It's important to stay informed on fire safety protocols, especially on days like #WorldBookDay. Our recommended reading list includes essential books on fire prevention and emergency preparedness. Stay educated and stay safe! 🔥📚 @DerbyshireFRS derbys-fire.gov.uk

As part of the evacuation strategy from multi occupied buildings you should consider how people are notified of a fire. Whether your building has 2 businesses or more consider how the alarm is raised and what is the strategy for evacuation. #FireSafety @DerbyshireFRS

Following last night's fire in Valencia, our sympathies are with all those affected by the devastating fire. Our thoughts are with the firefighters and other emergency service workers as they continue to deal with the incident.

Don't forget to schedule routine fire alarm tests in your multi-occupancy building to keep everyone safe and prepared in case of an emergency. #SafetyFirst #TestAlarm @DerbyshireFRS

Means of raising the alarm in multi occupancy buildings is a priority when it comes to fire safety. Can you raise the alarm if needed from every unit? Check your #FireEvacuation strategy to confirm whether your alarm system meets with your requirements. @DerbyshireFRS

Office alarm testing is not just a legal requirement, but also an integral part of keeping your workplace safe. Make it a priority to conduct weekly tests to identify any potential issues and provide peace of mind to everyone in your building. #FireSafety @DerbyshireFRS

Our #Business_Safety_Advisors are visiting multi-occupied buildings giving #fire safety advice and guidance around means of raising the alarm and fire detection. If you own or manage a building with more than 1 occupant and have any queries please get in touch. @DerbyshireFRS

Fire safety for your business is still important during the busy #Christmas period. Please ensure that escape routes are kept clear of stock and that escape doors can be opened easily. @DerbyshireFRS

During the #christmas period you may have additional stock. You may hire temporary staff to help out. Some people are hosting parties which could mean extra customers around the premises. Now is a good time to review your Fire Risk Assessment. @DerbyshireFRS

Our #Business_Safety_Advisors have been to a pub and shop watch meeting hosted by @ChesterfieldFC today. In attendance were colleagues from @DerbysPolice, @SIAuk and premises owners. We discussed responsibilities under fire safety, vulnerability and drugs. @DerbyshireFRS
