Prevention and Protection
We maintain a very simple philosophy that prevention is better than cure and we recognise that risk reduction begins with safe behaviours at home, at work, or on the road, and this leads to a safer society for all. We have developed a community safety strategy to focus our work and set our levels of resourcing where we have most risk. Using our knowledge, along with that of local organisations and partners we will target those people and properties that are more likely to be affected by fire and other emergencies, according to our risk analysis and risk profiling. The risks identified at Cullompton station have been identified below, our prevention and protection work will be prioritised accordingly.
