You still deal with chip pan fires? Unfortunately, we do. If you haven't ditched the chip pan yet and a fire breaks out, you should... Close the kitchen door, get everybody out, call 999 and ask for the fire service and wait outside until our crews arrive.

We have been delivering a heartstart/CPR session at St Peter's Church in Kells. If there is anyone or any groups in the area who would like to receive this training please contact us.

It can take seconds to cause a serious fire in the kitchen. Around 50% of accidental house fires start in the kitchen. Don't let your date distract you while cooking tonight! #ValentinesDay #FireKills

Half term is here and you might be more distracted than usual trying to keep the kids entertained. To keep everyone safe, make sure you avoid distractions whilst cooking. Distraction whilst cooking is a main cause of call outs across the country. It only takes one accident…

This week is cooking safety week. Each year a lot of accidental fires are caused by cooking. This campaign is designed to raise awareness and reduce avoidable fire in the homes caused by cooking. Never be distracted whilst cooking and make sure everything is off after use.

This week Green Watch visited Arlecdon Primary school where we discussed fire safety, looked at our fire kit and looked around the fire engine. Finished with squirting water. Visit was enjoyed by all @cfrs
