Welcome to Firebrake Wales

The Wales Community Fire Safety Trust (known as Atal Tân Cymru / Firebrake Wales), is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee established in 2002.

Its mission is to reduce the incidence of deaths and injuries in fires by raising awareness of risks, providing safety information, promoting fire safety research and encouraging collaboration between the public, private and voluntary sectors to make Wales a safer place.

The organisations activities are based on the following:

Evidence-based Practice - using research to target those most at risk of fire, hardest to reach with conventional fire safety messages and those hardest to influence in order to encourage safer attitudes and behaviours.  The charity is committed to evaluating and learning from all its activities to achieve continuous improvement in practice and performance.

Partnership Approach – establishing and developing partnerships with organisations that share an interest in making communities safer.  In particular, the charity brings together practitioners from the Fire and Rescue Services, those responsible for the development of fire prevention policies in the Welsh Assembly Government and organisations that engage with communities most at risk, hardest to reach and hardest to influence.
