We are supporting the Emergency Services 'Darker Nights' campaign

Here at Karbon Homes we are supporting the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service in their Darker Nights campaign, a recent community safety campaign centred around combatting anti-social behaviour and unsafe behaviour around fires, both of which tend to rise at this time of year.

With the darker nights setting in, emergency services across the region have called on parents to help keep their communities safe.

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service have today launched their Darker Nights campaign as they prepare for what is historically their busiest time of the year.

Figures showed last year that deliberate fires in public areas – such as rubbish or wheelie bin fires – increased by 94% over the school holidays and Bonfire weekend.

Many of the incidents are linked to anti-social behaviour, often perpetrated by young people, and have put public safety at risk.

Look out for posts on the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service Facebook page regarding the Darker Nights campaign, and help us spread the word about tackling unsafe and anti-social behaviour over Halloween and Bonfire weekend. We'll also be sharing information over on our Facebook page.
