FIREFIGHTERS have been equipped with pocket sized ‘emergency signs’ cards to help them communicate with the deaf community in Cheshire.
Containing basic sign language graphics, they are designed to help firefighters and the deaf community to understand each other quickly and effectively in an emergency.
The cards are available from any local Deafness Support Network centre, or fire station. Or text 07624 808 300.
