The Evergreens is a social group for older members of the community that meet at Trinity Church, Abingdon. Founded in 1980, they\u2019ve been going for 45 years and are now led by Tricia \u2014 pictured between the two firefighters who gave the talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025091702.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025091702.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinityabingdon.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025091702-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Their fire engine was parked outside to give a sense of drama to the occassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members found the talk both entertaining and practical. Key reminders included: have a smoke alarm on every floor, test them regularly, replace batteries as soon as they beep, and agree an escape plan with a meeting point. That last tip can save firefighters from rushing into a house looking for someone who\u2019s already safely in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more advice, visit Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue\u2019s home safety page<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordshire.gov.uk\/fire-and-community-safety\/community-safety\/safety-home\">https:\/\/www.oxfordshire.gov.uk\/fire-and-community-safety\/community-safety\/safety-home<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 or invite them to speak to your club.
