A message from the area commander..“Bedfordshire and Luton Fire and Rescue Service are delighted to be able to sponsor this football tournament and the wider ambition of the project that is to encourage much greater participation in sport across the whole range of faiths that we enjoy in Luton. As a Fire and Rescue Service we have a responsibility to attend emergency incidents whenever the public call for us; further to this we have an equally important role to educate the public to be safe from the dangers of fire in the home, to prevent fire in business premises and of course to ensure people stay safe on our roads. Please enjoy the tournament and the coaching and training…but please also take advantage of the free home fire safety check and smoke detectors that the Fire and Rescue Service can offer, the free phone number is on this web site and please, stay safe on our roads, watch your speed and always…wear your seat belts. Thank you, and may the best team win!” Simon Barker |
