Accidental, Natural and Social Fire Risk (ANSFR): The prevention and diminution of the human and financial costs of fire through effective risk assessment and management

This website has been created as part of the ANSFR Project. The ANSFR Project is being managed and coordinated by Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service (UK) working in close partnership with Frederikssund-Halsnæs Fire and Rescue Department (Denmark), Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco - Nucleo Investigativo Antincendi (NIA) (Italy), the Emergency Services College (Finland), Kanta Häme Fire and Rescue Service (Finland) and South West Finland Emergency Services (Finland). The project is co-financed by the European Union under the Civil Protection Financial Instrument (Grant Number: 070401/2008/507848/SUB/A3).

A key focus of the project is to utilise the benefits of effective partnership working at the local and international scale. The project partners will exchange information, expertise and experience through the planned project activities and collaboratively develop improved guideline frameworks for the assessment and management of fire risk by Fire and Rescue Services. The results of the ANSFR Project will be used to further improve and enhance the partners' approach to managing and reducing fire risk.

The information presented on this website will be of interest to all organisations in Europe with a responsibility for fire prevention and fire risk assessment and management.
