Videos: 2011 Fire Service Safety Week Awards
Bermudians were advised to always expect the unexpected by the island’s Fire & Rescue Service this week.
Every year, the Ministry of National Security, in conjunction with America’s National Fire Protection Association, fire departments across the United States and the United Kingdom participate in an initiative to educate their communities on fire safety.
This year Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service observed Fire Safety Awareness Week from Monday, October 31 to Friday, November 4, 2011.
