Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service: New Film About Impact of Fire Setting on Young Perpetrators
Just a Normal Day is a powerful short film commissioned and funded by TWFRS, developed in collaboration with Digital Voice, Gateshead Council, and Gateshead Youth Justice Service.
Based on real events, it tells the story of a serious deliberate fire through the voices of those directly affected and the professionals who respond to and work to prevent such incidents.
The film will now form part of TWFRS’s Fire Safety Intervention Programme, which supports young people under 18 who are involved in, or at risk of, fire setting. The programme helps young people and their families understand the dangers and long-term impact of fire-related behaviour.
