Festive thanks to Material focus for continuing the communication work to help prevent fires on our waste industry.
Great work bringing all these case studies together from waste and recycling teams on the frontline, to fire officers responding to urgent incidents, to residents whose lives have been disrupted by smoke and road closures.
Big thanks to Kamila Walczak for volunteering to be one of the case studies and helping contribute in our small way to the very serious issue of fire prevention.
Waste operations are busy places and easy to say no to ‘disruptions’ like this but I do think we have a collective responsibility to say yes whenever Material Focus calls - particularly when such an emotive cross sector issue like fire prevention.
