Organisation: Essex Fire & Rescue Service

Our Mission: To save and protect lives, property and the environment.

With a patch covering almost 400,000 hectares and a population of more than 1.5 million, Essex is one of the largest County fire services in the UK.

The county contains every conceivable risk - oil and gas terminals, a power station, two airports, docks, and arguably the country's busiest motorway, the M25 which runs through the heart of our ground.

That's why we continue to strive for operational excellence, doing more than we have ever done to keep Essex safe. With a modernisation agenda and a focus on providing an efficient, effective, value-for-money service, our efforts are firmly fixed on directing our resources in the areas where they can be best utilised.

As well as fighting fires, attending road accidents and dealing with major emergencies, we are being given new responsibilities for preventative community safety work. We take this responsibility seriously and have embarked on a number of innovative schemes to educate and protect those most vulnerable in our communities. We will be doing more.
