The challenge of road safety
Keeping you safe on our county's roads is a challenge for us. Devon and Somerset has one of the largest networks of rural roads in the UK and these are used by thousands of visitors every year, as well as our resident communities.
Attending road traffic collisions accounts for 7% of the work Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service undertakes. Not only do we manage incidents when they happen, but we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of road safety campaigning, in an effort to prevent Road Traffic Collisions RTCs), from happening in the first place.
