Health and wellbeing

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS) is committed to sharing general health, safety and wellbeing information with our community.

Smoking

Information about the effect smoking has on your health and for practical help and advice on staying safe and quitting.

Drugs and alcohol

If you have been drinking you might not wake up when a fire takes hold, particularly if you do not have a working smoke alarm.

Mobility and fitness

Taking 30 minutes activity on 5 or more days of the week will have general health benefits while improving fitness.

Nutrition and healthy eating

Being overweight can seriously affect a persons health

Mental health

We all have physical health and we all have mental health. Each will vary from time to time. And it's important we take care of both to promote our overall wellbeing.

Cold weather

During the winter people in Derby City die as a result of being too cold in their own home.
