An annual report from the Hampshire county’s fire service has shown that the number of fires in the district fell 20 per cent last year.
The biggest reduction was in Havant, where the number decreased marginally from 1,695 incidents to 881, while other firefighter crews in Winchester, Bishop’s Waltham, Alresford, Sutton Scotney, Wickham and Droxford put out 390 fires last year, which is an improvement from 466 in the year before.
The improvement was believed to have been because of the 20,000 fire safety visits across Hampshire last year, chief fire officer John Bonney stated.

News writing style here is far from classic, but I like this blog because it has got a bit of humour and attitude to it, in a good way. Despite the title there are few signs, however, of leap in the direction of the next stage of human evolution.
