About Us

We are an independent, industrial fire & rescue service who offer a range of fire protection services and operational fire appliances. We are able to operate in an array of challenging situations.

Starting with one fire appliance in 2010, as the demand for our services began to increase so did the need for more vehicles, equipment and bases to operate from; RFRS now have a diverse fleet with different capabilities.

Our Operational Staff delivers front line services to the client, including event and industrial fire cover. RFRS have a strong network of Support Staff who work in admin, human resources and vehicle maintenance to ensure our operations run smoothly.

Riverside Fire and Rescue Service personnel ensure their continued development by attending bi-monthly training days, which encompass classroom based subjects through to live fire training. By undertaking these sessions, a professional standard is maintained at all times.
