Summary

In 2003, Communities and Local Government (then ODPM) published a report on the findings of a review into 'The Fire Service working with young people in the community'. The review is based on questionnaires completed by all 61 fire brigades in the UK, and on additional qualitative research.

90% of all fire and rescue services now work within schools, providing fire safety and fire prevention education.  They also carry out a range of other activities, with both in-school and out of school youth, to reduce anti-social behaviour and provide positive role models, as well as promoting the recruitment of fire-fighters from minority communities that are currently under-represented in the fire service.  The report provides an overview of the different interventions currently carried out by the fire service with young people:
