Avon Fire and Rescue

Avon Fire and Rescue provide emergency and protection services to the communities of Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. They are committed to providing a safer place for people to live, work and visit across an area of 134,753 hectares and a population of over one million. While firefighting has traditionally been at the forefront of our work, the role of a modern fire and rescue service has increased to cover the core functions of 'preventing', 'protecting' and 'responding'.

A lot of their work now focuses on how they can prevent accidents and emergencies happening in the first place, as they believe this is the best way to protect our communities. They do this by providing advice and education through events, visits, campaigns and partnership working.

Alongside this work, Avon Fire and Rescue also provide a '999' response service to a range of incidents and emergencies from road traffic collisions and fires, to flooding and chemical spills.
