People Who Help Us
Gerry’s dad came in to speak to us about his work at the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. We asked him lots of questions and found out how he helps keep everyone safe. He told us how important it was to keep your home safe from fires. He would encourage everyone to use the Home Fire Safety Visit (HFSV) which is a free service to protect your home and family. Please call your local Fire Station on 0141- 881-2222 to arrange a home visit. Keep safe everyone!
We value love, faith and understanding
