Myth of the Month
Safety Laws ban *Poles in Fire Stations

The Reality: It was widely reported that a fire station was built without the traditional pole for 'health and safety' reasons. As the county’s Chief Fire Officer said: 'Whilst every consideration regarding health and safety was taken into account, the reason a pole was not included was purely due to space restrictions.' Poles are not banned and firefighters around the country continue to use them. For more information and downloadable posters (just print them out and stick them on the notice board) go to:

Environmental Tip of the Month
Bright Lights

By altering one thing at a time you can make a difference! Make sure you're getting the full benefit of the energy going into your lights by wiping the dust off lighting fixtures and bulbs every few months (make sure that the bulbs are cool first!).
