Greater Manchester Fire Rescue Service Oldham Safety Updates

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service has launched several new initiatives to keep Oldham residents safer, from a new podcast sharing frontline stories to practical safety assessments for homes.

The service's first official podcast 'Beyond the Call' launched this month, giving residents an inside look at firefighters' experiences and the challenges they face. The podcast aims to build stronger connections between the service and the communities it serves.

For those concerned about fire safety at home, GMFRS is offering Home Fire Safety Assessments to eligible residents. These free checks help identify potential hazards and provide advice on preventing fires, particularly important as we head into the colder months when accidental fires become more common.

The Winter Fire Safe Campaign is now underway, targeting the seasonal increase in home fires during cold weather. Alongside this, new motorcycle safety animations have been released to educate riders about staying safe on local roads, addressing a growing concern for road safety in the area.
