South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue are attempting to become the first fire service to have a Christmas number one song in aid of firefighter’s mental health.

The song, Fire Safety Dance, was created by Big Shaun and the Steel People, with the accompanying dance created by local dance school INK.

All proceeds from the song will go to the Fire Fighters Charity, an organisation that works to help firefighters live healthier and happier lives.

Andy Strelczenie, Deputy Chief Fire Officer at South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said: “During their working hours firefighters can be exposed to truly traumatic and difficult circumstances.

“It’s only in recent years that we’ve begun to appreciate how deeply this can affect our staff and what we can do to help them, and the Fire Fighters Charity are a big part of that.”

The single will be released on December 13 on all streaming platforms.
