About Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service carry out risk-based fire protection activities guided by a risk-based approach, completing fire safety checks at lower risk business premises and fire safety audits at higher risk business premises. We work with partners to ensure fire safety in high-rise buildings and to ensure that public events are safe.

We are also involved in influencing the safety of buildings even before they are built. We work closely with architects, planners and owners, advising them how to maximise the safety of occupants, the public and our firefighters through technical solutions and building design. This work includes encouraging the use of sprinklers in higher-risk buildings like high-rise properties, schools and residential care homes.

We work hard to support local businesses to help them reduce fire risk and be compliant with their legal responsibilities. Fire protection laws are there to keep people safe whenever they enter a public building or business. We are here to help those responsible for these buildings meet the legal standards and to help them protect businesses from fire.
