SafeSide - Eastside

SafeSide is attached to a working fire station (West Midlands Fire Service HQ) and offer our own home safety scenarios for your students to learn about every aspect of fire safety. So this is the place to be if you are wanting to focus on fire safety, plus road safety and the wider work of the fire service.

Safeside at Eastside features a realistic, full size indoor street scene including a double decker bus, train, house with fire effects, Nationwide branch, Co-op store, dark alleyway, car and much more. Our philosophy is one of practical learning in which visitors experience real situations and have to act rather than simply being told.

We run a number of programmes for different groups. Check out below which programme is the right one for your group.
