‘Follow’ us on Twitter and ‘Like us’ on Facebook

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service has launched its own Facebook and Twitter page, allowing people to engage with their Fire and Rescue Service in a more interactive, accessible and modern way.
　
These new pages enables Facebook and Twitter users across the country and indeed the globe, to access the latest news, fire and road safety advice, updates on community campaigns and recruitment as well as being able to communicate directly with the Service
.
Huw Jakeway, Acting Chief Fire Officer, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said;

"Our Media and Communications team have recognised the increasing popularity of social networking among a growing number of people in South Wales and indeed across the world and feel a presence on Facebook and Twitter will provide additional and alternative ways of communicating with the public and our partners other than the traditional channels that we are already using.
　
"We want our communities to be able to engage with us in a way that is more convenient and accessible to them and social networking offers us that opportunity. For us, it is about making sure we are putting the information people want in the places they use.
.
"We also hope that using Facebook and Twitter will be a good way for us to talk to some people that may be difficult to reach, as well as engaging with people about specific local issues that are important to them."
"We know that Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites are used by people of all different demographics and with differing needs and interests.

"By Like the SWFRS Facebook page and Following us on Twitter, people will be able to see up to date news, fire and road safety advice, updates on community campaigns and recruitment that are posted onto our sites and be directed to our Service website".
