Roles and responsibilities
The Fire and Rescue Service is a dynamic and responsive
organisation. It is our intention to protect the public through the
prevention of fire and dealing with incidents effectively and
efficiently when they occur.
The Service provides a rescue capacity to deal with non-fire
situations including rescue from road traffic accidents, other
transport incidents, chemical spillages, etc.
In order to carry out these tasks satisfactorily, we need to
engage with communities and our colleagues in other emergency
services and to ensure effective contingency plans.
We seek to protect and serve our communities by providing the
best possible service within the resources available.
