Firefighters in England and Wales are set to stage a fresh strike in a row with the government over pension ages. Members of the Fire Brigades Union will walk out between 18:30 and 23:00 GMT on Friday (1st November) and for two hours on Monday (4th November).
This comes at a time when people across the country will be gearing up to celebrate bonfire night. Although bonfire night falls on Tuesday (5th November), it is not uncommon for people to hold private fireworks displays and even bonfires over the days and weeks leading up to the 5th. Every year the fire service recognise this time of year as a high risk period, and so extra care should be taken to safeguard your business and your home.
As we all know, a fire will not give you advance warning via a text message or a status on Facebook, so make sure that all your fire safety measures and procedures are up-to-date and suitable and sufficient. It is also imperative that you practice your evacuation procedure as a matter of urgency and most importantly of all…be safe!
