We can't save lives when we're under attack!
Hostilities towards firefighters have been a long term issue for the British Fire Service and great efforts have been made, particularly by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, to highlight this issue in order to bring into being specific legislation for the offence of attacking an emergency worker.
As part of this effort to raise this issue, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service launched a campaign to warn of the consequences of these incidents.
As part of the campaign various media elements were incorporated, including visibility on 39 billboards across the county, as well as on A3 posters. The posters show youths throwing bricks at the windscreen of a fire engine. Leaflets were also produced and an advert ran on local radio warning people of the possible implications of these attacks.
