In summertime throughout Devon and Somerset the roads become busier than ever as holiday makers arrive.
Watching your speed is important throughput the year but Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service is asking all road users to take extra care during the summer months.
According to the latest Statistics from Road Casualties Great Britain, in 2013 speed was involved in collisions where 3,064 people were either fatally or seriously injured.
Clearly it is essential that people stick to the posted speed limit but it is also vitally important to get the message...
Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service will be opening its doors to the public later this month for a free Family Open Day.
The event at Service Headquarters, Clyst St George, Exeter, on Saturday 17 August, 10am – 4pm, will raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity and Hope for Children.
Phil Martin, Area Manager for Community Safety, said: “This is a great opportunity to provide a day’s entertainment and insight into the work of fire and rescue services as well as providing an opportunity to make people safe.
