The Black Museum website hosted by East Sussex FRS

Ceri Darrell | Thursday, January 05, 2012

The Black Museum website, hosted by East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, highlights the causes, effects and learning from real fires and has been launched in a bid to more effectively communicate safety messages to educate, inform and ultimately change perceptions and behaviour.

The site is being contributed to and supported by a number of other Fire & Rescue Services and contains case histories from real fires that provide details of the cause and circumstances of the fire. 

The long-term aim of the website is to build up a comprehensive range of images and stories to provide a 'real fire library' from which all Fire & Rescue Services and the wider fire sector can benefit.

This website has been endorsed and highlighted as notable practice by the Chief Fire Officers Association and the Electrical Safety Council has awarded a grant to promote the website.
