Education

Our Community Safety Educationalists visit every Primary and Secondary School in North Wales to educate children about Fire Safety.

We are currently targeting Reception and year 4 pupils in the Primary Schools and year 7 in the Secondary Schools.

With reception classes we talk about the dangers of touching matches. With years 4 and 7 we discuss the need for smoke alarms in the home, fire survival and escape plans.

If you would like to receive a visit, contact Gwawr Williams on 01745 352688 or Melfyn Hughes on 01745 352690 or by email.

There is a new member or North Wales Fire & Rescue Service - a helmet called 'Tanni'

Tanni is the new mascot for the Fire Services in Wales, but was created for North Wales. It will be used to educate Key Stage 1 children about fire safety. 'Tanni' also appears on our goody bags, pencils and pens.

CRUCIAL CREW is an educational scheme aimed at year 7 pupils throughout North Wales.

It is a multi-agency approach that aims to teach the pupils how to stay safe in various dangerous situations.

These agencies include the Fire & Rescue Service, Police, Childline, Woman's Aid, Red Cross, Road Safety, Probation Service, Coastguard and British Transport Police. The groups of pupils rotate from one agency to another, spending about 20-25 minutes listening to that particular safety message.

The list of agencies have grown over the past four years and we now have a 'bank' of agencies that we can call upon.

During the last school year, 54 schools were visited and over 8000 Pupils experienced CRUCIAL CREW.
