It is my belief that preventing a fire occurring in the first place is far better than dealing with the consequences of that fire and therefore that is a primary aim of Community Fire Safety. There are three strands to our Community Fire Safety approach within the District; Response, Prevention and Education (P&E) and Protection and Technical (P&T). All three work together and share resources to ensure that they effectively target the risks identified in North Tyneside.
As a Service we are aware that the reduction of risk to our community can not be the responsibility of one agency; safety is enhanced by a multi agency approach. We work with a number of partner agencies including the North Tyneside Strategic Partnership, to identify innovative ways to improve the safety of the people of North Tyneside.
