Welcome from the Chief Fire Officer

Stamping out deliberate fires

As we move into Spring with lighter evenings and warmer weather, I’m making an appeal to parents to be more aware of the whereabouts of their children and to help us prevent deliberate fires.

Deliberate fires endanger the lives of the public as well as firefighters; they delay fire crews from attending genuine emergencies, and cost the Welsh economy millions of pounds.

Working with partners

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service has been working hard to drive down deliberate fires over recent years through a dedicated joint Arson Reduction Team with North Wales Police – working to a Wales Arson Reduction Strategy which provides a clear focus for organisations and individuals working together to reduce deliberate fires across the whole of Wales.
