Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS)
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service provides prevention, protection and response services across the County of Berkshire. Twelve wholetime and four on-call fire stations cover 488 square miles, from Langley in the East to Lambourn in the West. The Service serves a diverse cultural population of approximately 949,000, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The role of RBFRS within local communities is evolving. A wide range of services help keep communities safe, including safety and protection advice to residents and businesses, as well as enforcing fire safety legislation and reducing fire risk in the built environment. This is in addition to highly skilled crews providing a swift and effective response to incidents ranging from road, rail, aviation and waterway accidents, to fuel and chemical spills, collapsed buildings, large animal rescues and, of course, fires.
