lfrs - fire safety team
Birstall
Here you will find out about Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service’s governing
body, the Combined Fire Authority (CFA), organisational structure, locations and
contacts, constitutional and governance and our commitment to equality and
diversity. As a fire and rescue service, our main responsibilities are not
limited to firefighting. We also respond to a wide range of incidents,
increasingly those that involve our rescue capability. As well as responding
locally, we can be called to help on either a national or international level
with our Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and International Search and Rescue
(ISAR) teams. We also work closely with other emergency services and our local
authority partners to deliver an emergency response and protect our communities.
We carry out an enforcement role to ensure members of the public are safe and
businesses are operating in a safe and legal manner. While we always respond in
an emergency situation. One of our priorities is to make the public aware of
risks, helping make them safer in order to avoid accidents from happening in the
first place. This is done through our community safety and education programmes.
