Safety Notice  

Blaze created the concept of fundraising Firewalks, this is their 40th year of providing Firewalks. Your trainer, Karen Sterling, has provided over 2,600 firewalking events. It is their responsibility to provide a safe, and fun, firewalking experience for every firewalker. 

Blaze will ensure they are providing safe conditions and equipment with knowledgeable, experienced and skilled personnel and instructions to on the night to keep you safe doing your firewalk. 

During all aspects of the training, they will be watching for anyone who may need extra support during their Firewalk. Karen can tell by their body language and how they walk if they have any issues, they may not have disclosed such as back, hip, knee and foot pain and will know if or when she needs to step in with a supportive arm, or two. All this is explained during the training. We will ensure that you are in good hands!
