Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) is committed to ensuring the safety  of the community through our prevention, protection and response activity.  

As an enforcing authority for the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (the Fire  Safety Order) we are committed to working with Responsible Persons to ensure that  premises are safe – we do this through providing advice and information as well as  carrying out inspections.  

We want to support you to keep your customers and staff safe and to assist you in  understanding your fire safety responsibilities. 

We have put together this information sheet to help owners and managers of licensed premises.
