Much like other services across the country, South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service’s community safety activity currently looks different from normal.
This is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted on its ability to deliver home safety visits, safe and well checks, school visits, and station-based events. The joint police and fire - Lifewise Centre is also closed, until further notice, and fire station community rooms are no longer being used by their partner agencies.
home safety checks
Regards home safety checks, members of the public, and especially partners, are still encouraged to make referrals through the website, but please expect a delay in the response to these.
With ‘NATIONAL LOCKDOWN’ being the current state:
- With high-risk cases, SYFRS will complete an initial check over the phone and then attend home to fit smoke alarms and spot any hazards.
- With low-medium risk cases, SYFRS will complete the check exclusively over the phone and deliver equipment such as smoke alarms to the door.
