The Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith, visited the Roeland street Fire Station today, Tuesday, 19 May 2020, where he handed out face masks and other personal protection equipment(PPE) to staff. Alderman Smith once again stressed the importance of wearing face masks as part of our daily life for the general public, but also for frontline staff. When wearing a face mask, everyone should ensure that the mask is put in place correctly by covering the mouth and nose and that it’s washed regularly with warm water and soap, if it is a cloth mask. 

The City’s Fire and Rescue Service, and other frontline Safety and Security staff are all equipped with the necessary PPE, including face masks.
