Surrey Fire and Rescue Services (SFRS) are working in partnership with key organisations to make sure that those who are more at risk in Surrey are kept safe from fire.

Research has shown that people with one or more of the following issues are more at risk from fire:

  • over the age of 65 (risk increases with age especially age 75 and over and significantly increases over age 85)
  • live alone
  • suffer mobility or hearing loss issues
  • have mental health issues including dementia and memory loss
  • have a learning, physical, cognitive or sensory disability
  • have alcohol or drug dependency
  • smokers

Person At Risk (PAR) Fire Risk Assessment Form

This tool is essential in helping us manage fire risks effectively and ensure the safety of vulnerable adults in both care facilities and their own homes. The PAR form provides a structured approach to identifying key fire risk factors for individuals who may be more vulnerable to fire. It also helps us understand the potential impact on neighbouring occupants or other residents, enabling us to take proactive steps through Safe and Well visits and other support measures.

Please ensure you are familiar with the PAR form and incorporate it into your risk management practices where appropriate. Together, we can continue to provide a safe and supportive environment for all our Surrey residents.
