2024 Surrey Fire Service Annual Report

HomeSafe Program HomeSafe is an important public safety intervention activity developed to reduce injury and death in single family residential fires. The program focuses on fire safety information and smoke alarms delivered door to door to residents considered to be at a higher risk of residential fires. After studying and collecting 20 years of fire incident data, Surrey Fire Services has built this program to protect our most vulnerable residents. Since its inception in 2008, the HomeSafe program has continually lowered fire rates, resulting in a safer community as well as protecting the health of firefighters.
