Help Avon Fire & Rescue Service reduce house fires this Home Fire Safety Month

| Avon Fire & Rescue Service is urging residents to take simple steps to protect themselves and their families this September as part of Home Fire Safety Month 2025. |

The campaign supports the national Fire Kills initiative and will run throughout September, with local crews offering advice and community events across the Service area. Remember:
