We do this by providing advice and education through events, visits, campaigns and partnership working.\r\nAlongside this work we also provide a '999' response service to a range of incidents and emergencies from road traffic collisions and fires, to flooding and chemical spills. We work closely with the other emergency services, as well as external agencies." } ] } ] ```
