Fire Safety DVD to include BSL

West Midlands Fire Service has worked with Blue Hippo Media and Zebra Uno on a Fire safety DVD for deaf people and people with communication barriers. It is intended that through being extremely visual and with the use of BSL the DVD will have a large impact on home fire safety not only in the West Midlands area but nationally too.

Filming for the DVD started towards the end of February 2008 and was launched in May 2008.
