National ambassadors

Three apprentice firefighters from CDDFRS have volunteered to join with the National Apprenticeship Scheme as ambassadors for apprenticeship programmes and the opportunities they can offer to coincide with National Apprenticeship Week, which runs from today until Friday 9th March.

Product recalls

If there is a problem with the safety of a product, manufacturers notify the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of a product that has been recalled because of a safety risk. Notices are posted to this section as CDDFRS receives them.

Community risk register

A community risk register has been set up to assess the likelihood and potential impact of a variety of situations in County Durham. The register sets out how we can limit these risks.

The document is located at the bottom of the emergency contact page.
