Fire and rescue service clearance

Depending on the type and size of event you wish to run, you may need approval or permission from the local fire service. At the very least you should contact them for advice about the possible risks and preparations that you could or should make to avoid potential problems.

The safety of the public and event staff must be an important consideration. (See also Chapter 14 ‘Event site’, Chapter 22 ‘Security’, Chapter 23 ‘Insurance, Chapter 24 ‘Emergency and normal procedures’.)
