Organised firework displays won’t be happening this year, so if you plan on attending a gathering with fireworks or are hosting your own display, remember that they can cause life-changing burn injuries. Find advice on how to stay safe here: https://t.co/xBdjmSM8XI #BeBurnsAware

...and a huge thank you to all those who make them possible. IFE HQ, coordinators, invigilators, markers and many more. Thanks especially to those supporting exams within @ifesw much appreciated by us all.

[The Institution of Fire Engineers @ifeglobal]

Good luck to all candidates who are sitting IFE exams today in the UK and around the world! 🌎📚 #ifeexams

Good advice here from @CFRSFireSafety. Why not take a few minutes to check your home and business white good products? @ElecSafetyFirst offer a useful check site here too https://t.co/0gbMpSvmWX

[CFRS_FireSafety @CFRSFireSafety]

White goods such as fridges, freezers, dishwashers, tumble dryers, washing machines can be a source of fire within our homes or businesses. Product recall information helps you identify known concerns or trends. Have you checked yours recently? https://t.co/nN9AaQf85Q

[IFE South Western Branch @ifesw]

Fantastic work to control, contain and extinguish the fire. An understanding to ‘preserve and observe’ the scene assists fire investigators to build up evidence and identify the most likely cause. All part of the wider fire engineering sector. Good job! @ifeglobal @CornwallFRS

[CFRS_FireSafety @CFRSFireSafety]

As the operational response to this incident concludes the #fireinvestigation will continue. It is vital that @CornwallFRS and partners understand the cause of fires so we can analyse trends and target our #Prevention and #Protection resources effectively making #Cornwall safer

[CFRS_FireSafety @CFRSFireSafety]

These have proved very popular and provide an opportunity to catch up on the latest advice and put questions to our expert panel on a range of regulatory matters covering coronavirus safety, fire safety, health and safety, T&Cs and food safety. @CornwallCouncil @NFCC_FireChiefs

We are sorry to confirm we have cancelled our AGM and CPD event scheduled for 16th April 2020. We will be back with a new date later this year. The health, safety and well-being of our members, guests and speakers is our priority as we support the UK 🇬🇧 effort to ‘Delay’
