Water safety

KFRS not only fight fires – we also carry out inland water rescues from lakes, canals and rivers. It's an important part of our work and we’re committed to ensuring everyone in Kent is equipped with the information they need to stay safe around water. Our newly developed water safety resources educate students on the dangers of inland water, by promoting safer behaviours and skills to mitigate risk.
