Firefighters will be teaming up with NHS staff to promote No Smoking Day on March 10th at Tesco, Cardington Road, Bedford.

Using the Bedfordshire and Luton Fire and Rescue Service Community Fire Safety Bus as a mobile venue, firefighters will be warning people about the increased chances of fires in homes where smokers live.

And NHS staff will be offering health checks to shoppers at the same time.

The visit by the CFS bus is part of a wide safety campaign being run jointly by BLFRS and the NHS. The event on March 10th coincides with a national “Up in Smoke”campaign by the fire service nationally.
