4 November 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NIFRS has launched a Volunteer programme at Crescent Link Fire Station, Derry\/Londonderry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme is made up of 12 members of the public who volunteer their time to provide fire safety advice in their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Volunteers can represent NIFRS at community events; provide fire safety information at homes, shopping centres and libraries; and deliver fire safety talks to groups and organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth Volunteer programme launched by NIFRS. There are also programmes in Coleraine, Downpatrick and Cookstown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan Walmsley, Assistant Chief Fire and Rescue Officer, NIFRS said:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur new batch of Volunteers bring a wealth of experience, skills and enthusiasm to NIFRS, which they will put to good use through a wide range of activities in the North West, including delivering fire safety advice and supporting local community events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn return our Volunteers will get experience of being part of a great team and meeting new people; promote fire safety amongst their local community; improve their confidence; and develop links with community groups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret Colhoun, Crescent Link Volunteer, said:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVolunteering with NIFRS is a very rewarding and positive experience, and I feel really appreciated.  I am proud to deliver fire safety information to the local community, which in turn will save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
