In 2007 The Barbados Fire Service sought to be more proactive in its fire-fighting measures and created the fire prevention and community relations unit in an effort to raise awareness of fire-fighting practices and safety within our communities. This unit has evolved into what is now known as The Fire Prevention, Community Relations and Code Enforcement Unit which continues to uphold the mandate of reducing the incidences of fires and property loss due to fire and ultimately educating the public of Barbados in fire safety to make each citizen fire smart.
