We currently have a variety of talks available for booking, including Home Fire Safety, Road safety, Water safety and Bonfire Night. These talks are available for a range of age groups. Please see below.
We currently have a few resources for Key stage 1 and Early years, however, our educational resources are in the process of being updated, so we would also like to draw your attention to StayWise, which is a website led by the National Fire Chiefs Council, in the meantime.
StayWise brings together the educational resources of the emergency services and key safety-focused organisations. This has been created to support teachers and community safety practitioners in delivering essential safety messages to children.
There are a wide range of resources available, each aimed at specific ages ranging from 3 -18 year olds, including puzzles, colouring sheets (for younger ones), PowerPoints, videos and interactive games.
All resources are free to use and download, you just need to sign up, which is also free.
Visits will see our firefighters engaging with pupils from Primary to Secondary age groups. Our visits aim to enable the pupils to build relationships with the Fire Service, creating respect and trust, reducing attacks on fire fighters and other emergency services in our communities.
Following every fire service visit we ask that schools complete an online feedback form as this will ensure our materials are continually reviewed and are providing useful resources that are required in schools.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service aims to provide safety awareness education to the communities of West Yorkshire through a variety of means.
The contents within this site are aimed at school children and encourages children’s raised awareness of issues related to fire safety, deliberate fire setting, impact of drugs and alcohol and road safety, whilst incorporating important safety messages appropriate to any time of year.
The Fire awareness training is also available for our partners and is designed to give an insight into the basics of fire safety in the home, how to spot lifestyle habits / issues which might heighten the fire risk within the property, and what to look out for.
The training will also raise awareness of where our partner organisations can support WYFRS in delivering brief interventions to reduce fire risk whilst in attendance at a property, such as having a brief conversation with the individual about a lifestyle choice or removing a risk factor will all help to reduce the risk of a fire occurring. 10 seconds of advice can reduce or even remove risk.
If you would like to book a visit to your school, please contact your local fire station or email school.resources@westyorksfire.gov.uk
