Responding

When emergencies do happen, our firefighters and specialist equipment are ready.

It’s not just putting out fires. We also respond to road traffic accidents and rescue people and animals from heights, water, confined spaces and more.

Our crews are trained to deal with terrorist attacks and large scale disasters too.
