πŸ’™ A really important message from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service that, honestly, was not something I was aware of either until recently β€” and I feel it’s something more people should know about.

πŸš’ All West Wales Fire Stations are recognised as Safe Havens.

This means that anyone experiencing:

• Domestic abuse

• Feeling unsafe or threatened

• Young people in distress or vulnerable situations

• Or anyone needing immediate safety and support

can seek refuge at their local fire station while help is arranged through the appropriate services, whether that be the police, parents, domestic abuse support services, or other emergency support organisations.

Importantly, even if a station is not staffed 24/7, you can still call 999 and the station can be opened remotely to provide a place of safety while trained fire crews make their way to you.

I genuinely think this is one of those pieces of information that could make a real difference to someone one day, so please consider sharing this post and helping spread awareness throughout our communities. You never know who may need it. πŸ’™

Huge thanks to Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service for highlighting this important initiative and for the incredible work they continue to do to keep people safe.
