Welcome to the June edition of the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service e-Newsletter.
Road Safety Week
The Chief Fire Officers Association's (CFOA) UK Road Safety Week is taking place from 9 to 15 June 2014
The overarching message of this year's UK Road Safety Week by fire and rescue services is 'Be Safe Out There' and firefighters in Cheshire, alongside police colleagues, will be supporting the week by holding a number of road safety events.

Child Safety Week
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, as part of the Fire Kills campaign, is encouraging local families and child carers to be a "Safety Hero" by taking simple measures to stay safe as part of Child Safety Week 2014, run by the Child Accident Prevention Trust from 23 to 29 June
Preventable accidents are one of the biggest killers in the UK, and the message coming loud and clear this week is that a few moments’ extra thought can make all the difference. Small steps like testing your smoke alarms and making sure candles and matches are out of reach, or a quick glance down the hall to ensure an escape route is clear in case of a fire, take just seconds but can save lives.
