CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People

CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People Team support communities to reduce arson and deliberate fires, making County Durham and Darlington a safer place to live

[County Durham & Darlington Fire & Rescue Service @CDDFRS]

Our crews from Crook have been visiting local schools this week with @DurhamPolice to raise awareness of the dangers of setting fires and the impact they have on the community, emergency services and themselves. 💪🔥 #WednesdayWisdom #BeArsonAware #FireStoppers #EducateThemYoung

Amazing to see 298 Y7 students from @Consettacademy dial into, and engage in one of our virtual Arson Reduction and fire safety presentations this morning!! Great effort from all involved! #CDDFRS #ArsonReduction

Teesside University would like to hear how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted on your physical activity. Further details can be found by going to https://t.co/SW93N5j0Oc. Retweeting this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Darlington Crews have come across this fly tipped domestic rubbish which is unsightly & a serious fire risk. This waste is mainly children's toys. These toys would have benefitted a disadvantaged child via a local charity Toy Bank, than thrown away. @CDDFRS

[CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People @CddfrsR]

How to get rid of your household waste properly? If you pay anyone to take your rubbish, check they are registered, (see their waste carrier certificate), & check them out on https://t.co/asxVjEjVTP, because otherwise you may be paying a Fly Tipper! @CddfrsR

[CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People @CddfrsR]

This is the effect of dumping bulk waste in back alleyways.
For DCC residents to dispose of your bulk waste, (if you can't take it to a recycling site yourself), go to https://t.co/7NF1Jdkb2X. Darlington residents go to https://t.co/FnUB5qAEM2. @CDDFRS

[CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People @CddfrsR]

So tell me! If this were oil on a beach filled with choking, oil-covered sea birds, you'd be outraged right! So why accept this or do nothing to report it or the people who dump it? On the plus side, your local Arsonist has somewhere to find all the fuel they need! @CDDFRS

[CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People @CddfrsR]

Matilda the mattress is scared! She should be with other mattresses, safe & secure at the Household Waste Recycling Centre, not alone down some back ally. She's at risk...she can hear them coming, encouraging each other to start fires. What if She is next? @CDDFRS

[CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People @CddfrsR]

So, what do you see? Rubbish, fly tipping or a recycling opportunity maybe? I see fuel for an Arsonist, I see that a fire has occurred on this spot before. I see foam seat pads stacked against the fence of a family home. Report it on 101 or via https://t.co/QS1XHV5MHz @CDDFRS

[CDDFRS Arson Reduction and Young People @CddfrsR]

This fire set in Coxhoe Park, was set deliberately. Look at the smoke & the flames! The thick, black smoke causes environmental harm & the colour of the flames indicates temperatures over 1000 degrees! At these temperatures, any burn to skin would be life changing! @CDDFRS

Woodie the Fire Dog and the Arson Reduction Team have been busy filming this week for our new education package, Safer Futures On-Line, he was fantastic! Well done Woodie. @CDDFRS #woodiethefilmstar

Massive thank you to @CDDFRS Red Watch, Peterlee who surprised our Phoenix Fire Champions yesterday with a visit to Yohden Primary School. The children were carrying out vital research into secondary fires in their community! 🚒👏 #arsonreduction #firefutures #safercommunities

“A deliberate fire can also put property, resources and indeed lives at risk so it goes without saying that we will always take a zero-tolerance approach to fire-setting and attacks on our crews.” @fire_scot https://t.co/FUdxyuUPxr
