About Redcar and the Risks:

Redcar has a world class economic industrial site alongside quality agricultural land. It is home to one of few sites in Western Europe with Special Development Status, Wilton International.

Coastline. Redcar station is called out often to many unusual incidents that occur on the coastline from rescuing stranded seals to dealing with unknown hazardous chemicals washed up on the beach.
-
Racecourse. One of only two in the country with a mile long straight. During race days a high number of visitors attend the Races greatly increasing the risk of fire for us.

Community Groups
We attend local community forums on a regular basis in conjunction with the Police, Council, Housing association and residents to discuss local issues, report on incidents we attended or offer our assistance in improving the quality of life for local people.
If you are aware of any other Community Groups that you feel would benefit from our input, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the Station.
Weeks of Action
In the District, every few weeks throughout the year ‘Weeks of Action’ are held in different ward areas. During Each ‘Week of Action’ all the Partnership agencies are involved from stepping up rubbish removals from the identified ward areas, to holding Partnership Days with stalls, bouncy castles, alcohol and drug awareness work, dog chipping and other activities. Local people support these events and it is an excellent opportunity for Redcar Station staff to meet and interact with local residents and discuss the various services we can offer to them.
Arson Audits
All of our Watches "patrol" all the wards within the Station boundary on a daily basis identifying fly tipping which could turn into a potential fire. Partnership agencies are then contacted to remove the unwanted waste. Premises where arson may be a problem are identified and contact is then made with the occupiers/ owners to see if there is any assistance the Brigade can offer, in helping to reduce the fire risk
Site Specific Risk Assessments
Staff from Redcar Station carry out risk assessments on a regular basis on many commercial premises throughout the station area. These risk assessments are not only to check if hazards still exist on these premises, but also give staff a vital familiarisation of the building, so in the event of any incident occurring in the future we are aware of the layout of the premises
We also visit premises which have excessive numbers of automatic fire alarm calls [AFA's] and offer advice on how to reduce the number of calls received.
If you need any advice/ information on any of the above subjects covered, or indeed anything with, which you think Cleveland Fire Brigade can help you, please do not hesitate to contact us.
