Claims caused by fire are one of the most frequent large losses on a farm. During the infrequent warm summer periods, farmers are more aware of the risk to fire, but there is always more to be done in protecting against this.
Please see the useful guide provided by Shropshire Fire Service that will provide helpful information to minimise fire claims around the farm.
The booklet below highlights the dangers commonly found on farms and identifies simple ways to reduce the risk. Farm fire safety includes human safety, farm animal welfare and property and environmental protection. A serious fire on a farm can affect the financial stability of even the most well run business. 40% of businesses that suffer a serious fire never trade successfully again.
