London Fire Brigade is the busiest fire and rescue service in the country. What's more, we are one of the largest firefighting and rescue organisations in the world protecting people and property from fire within the 1587 square kilometers of Greater London. We are the only UK fire service where all operational staff are full-time. Other brigades use a combination of full and part-time staff and retained firefighters who carry out firefighting duties in addition to their usual employment. To provide a round-the-clock service, we operate a two shift, four-watch system at stations – red, white, blue and green. Control staff take emergency 999 calls, find out details of incidents, send fire engines and deploy our resources to emergencies. They also use a six-watch system but have a different rank structure. It's not just firefighters who help make London a safer city. We have a range of non-uniformed and non-operational staff who work behind the scenes to support our front-line services, including IT, Finance, Procurement and Community Safety officers.

Our vision at Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is clear: To make Essex a safe place to live, work and travel. With a patch covering 367,000 hectares and a population of more than 1.74 million, Essex is one of the largest County fire services in the UK. We have 51 fire stations across the county and three quarters of these are on-call. Over the last 10 years Essex has seen a 45% reduction in incidents, meaning we focus as much on prevention and protection as we do response to incidents. As well as fighting fires, attending road accidents and dealing with major emergencies, we educate and communicate to make safety the heart of our community work. Our people are our greatest asset and we value, respect and honour all they do for our Service. We create an inclusive and non-judgemental environment that respects people as individuals, embraces diversity and creates opportunities to celebrate our staff. Above all we constantly recognise that our firefighters, control staff, support staff and volunteers are all part of one team to deliver a safer Service and a safer Essex.
