UKRO Festival of Rescue

In September 2024, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service hosted the UK Rescue Organisation (UKRO) “Festival of Rescue” at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

3SFire were proud to sponsor this incredible event.

Firefighter teams from 28 UK fire services, along with three international teams, gathered in Portsmouth and Eastleigh to showcase their expertise in a range of demanding scenarios.

Competitions included vehicle extrication, rope rescues from height, water rescues, and trauma care. The event also featured a fire cadet challenge and a working dog demonstration.

Spectators were treated to live action displays, gaining insights into the skills and equipment used by rescue teams. There were also opportunities for the public to get hands-on training in CPR and water rescue throwline techniques.

Planning An Event

We understand how stressful event planning can be. It’s a huge effort, with so many elements that each require careful planning.

If you’re not sure where to start with fire safety planning and cover for your next event, why not get in touch with us at info@3sfire.co.uk? In the meantime, here are four fire safety considerations to think about before you put on an event.

Here are four safety considerations to think about before you put on an event:

Assess the risks

A recent Fire Risk Assessment is must for your event. Standard best practice is to review your Fire Risk Assessment on an annual basis, so make sure your chosen event venue is up to scratch. It’s important that all potential risks are identified and managed. Here at 3SFire, our experienced team are trained to risk assess events from a fire perspective.

Consider On-Site Cover

For events with a lot of attendees and multiple potential fire risks, on-site fire cover may be necessary. On-site fire cover can give you complete peace of mind, particularly when there are varied needs and a wide range of risks. It’s not just during the event, you also need to consider the risks to event staff and contractors during build-up and breakdown too. 3SFire has a great deal of expertise when it comes to events and fire safety and we’re always happy to discuss individual needs.

Fire Application Provision

For large scale events, 3SFire can provide essential fire appliances as part of our service. These appliances could prove vital in the event of a fire at your event. This is a service we provide for major events such as the Farnborough International Air Show, where there are number of potential risks to mitigate, both in the air and on the ground.

Who Are Your Fire Wardens?

For smaller scale, low risk events, along with a recent Fire Risk Assessment, you may also want to consider refreshing your fire warden training or even upgrading to enhanced fire warden training. The level of fire risk in your business will dictate how many fire marshals you should have. There is no legal definition of low, normal or high risk with regards to fire safety as it depends on many factors. If you feel unqualified to determine the risk level of your premises, or uncomfortable doing so, then check your Fire Risk Assessment, as it should have classified your premises for you.

Every organisation or event needs trained staff who know how to proceed should there be an emergency. Even if your event is relatively small, think carefully and if you feel you need further fire warden training, 3SFire can assist with the best and latest safety training. After all, who could be better train your team than experts with real ‘front line’ emergency experience?
