The Fire Watch scheme was established to young people to value their school and works by giving selected pupils special permission to have an “access all areas pass” and to report potential fire hazards to school staff. 

The young people are trained by their local Fire Station personnel and report any issues of concern to the Head Teacher or a nominated deputy.  Since its introduction, the communities of South Wales have seen a significant drop in school fires thanks to the efforts of teaching staff, pupils and Fire Station personnel.
