Road traffic collisions are particularly challenging for firefighters, who often witness traumatic injuries.
With roads such as the M4, A303, A31, A35, A338 and A350 criss-crossing our Service area, road traffic collisions form a significant part of our emergency response.
The majority of such crashes can be avoided, which is why we work hard with partners to improve drivers’ knowledge and understanding of the risks.
