A FREE CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR LIFE

The East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service Christmas message is "'Tis the season to be careful" yet, sadly, the community has seen another life lost through fire in the lead-up to Christmas.

Last Saturday's house fire in Ticehurst reminds us again of the tragic consequences of fire and in particular how the elderly and those living alone can be so vulnerable.

Christmas is a time to think of family and friends and also of those in our community who need our help, especially those who may not fully recognise the need for help themselves. As many of us are busy ourselves preparing for celebrations and choosing gifts for loved ones, let's also think of those we know whose lives could be saved by a free gift.

East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service has staff to conduct free home safety checks and who are able to instal smoke alarms without charge all year round. If you personally know of someone elderly or alone and who may be vulnerable, why not extend the seasonal spirit of goodwill and help them to contact us and arrange a free visit. A few moments of your time may be the most important gift you give this Christmas.
