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.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) is one of six metropolitan brigades in England and one of the busiest in the country. It covers the districts of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. West Yorkshire is ranked as the top fire and rescue authority in the region - and one of the best in the country. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority is responsible for the county’s fire and rescue service, which serves a population of more than two million people spread over almost 800 square miles. Emergency cover is provided 24/7, 365 days of the year. Trained and highly skilled firefighters respond to a number of incidents, including fires, road traffic collisions, flooding, people trapped and unsafe structures, to name but a few. Emergency 999 operators are trained to manage incidents and provide essential survival guidance. WYFRS is also committed to preventing fires and other emergency incidents, with both specialist officers and firefighters visiting vulnerable people in their homes to provide Safe and Well checks. Prevention teams based around West Yorkshire work in communities and with young people to drive down accidents and injuries. Last year, firefighters and specialist staff carried out 309,719 home fire safety checks. The Protection department provides guidance and support in discharging statutory fire safety duties, working with businesses in West Yorkshire and beyond. In addition, there are a number of specialist support services which provide vital expertise to enable the brigade to function 24/7and provide a first-class fire and rescue service. The support services include functions such as ICT, specialist training, communications, HR, transport, finance and property services to name but a few.
