Fire Safety





 
 
NIFRS has, through a three-staged strategy, engaged with the community to stop attacks on the emergency services. 
 
Stage 1 'We're the Targets' was designed to make the matter an issue of public outrage and to emphasise that these attacks, while impacting on NIFRS personnel, primarliy affected the community through, at best, a delayed or, at worst, the non-attendance of NIFRS after an attack.
 




 
 
Stages 2 & 3 are targeted at those most likely to become involved, the vulnerable in the community and those who have already attacked us.  These iniatiatives and engagement programmes explain the consequences of these attacks, the likely outcome in terms of loss of life and highlight the possibility of a jail sentence for those involved, while offering real alternatives and positive outcomes through engagement with NIFRS at a local community level.
