Safety Advice and Information

Highlands & Islands Fire & Rescue Service’s (HIFRS) aim is to reduce deaths and injuries from fire and other emergencies.  Our Community Fire Safety department works with all districts to raise community awareness of fire.  We continue to work with local schools, businesses and partner agencies to spread fire safety messages across the Highlands and Islands area.

The Service and its staff are fully committed to the delivery of FREE home safety checks which are available to all.   These home fire safety checks are delivered by all our operational staff who are supported by Community Safety Advocates.
