The severe weather and flooding caused by #StormBert have brought devastation to many communities. Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones and those whose homes and businesses have been damaged. NFCC Chair Mark Hardingham has expressed his gratitude to the firefighters, control room staff, and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to protect lives and support communities during the storm. We have also reiterated our calls for the Government to consult on introducing a statutory duty for fire and rescue services in England, ensuring they have the tools, training, and resources needed to respond to increasingly frequent extreme weather events.

The professional voice of the UK Fire & Rescue Service
About us
The National Fire Chiefs Council’s overarching vision is to be the professional voice for the UK Fire and Rescue Service, providing advice and support for all professional and technical matters. NFCC will deliver the unified professional voice of the UK fire and rescue service. As a collective - through the respective Chief Fire Officers of all UK fire and rescue services - NFCC manages national work programmes through its eight Coordination Committees. This approach ensures a joined-up approach to achieve programme aims, while driving improvements and development nationally.. NFCC also supports strong political leadership for government, including for the devolved administrations. A full-time Chair position delivers a consistent approach, while establishing stronger relationships with stakeholders and the wider sector; most significantly central government. NFCC is also the single point of contact for the Home Office, fire professionals and partners such as the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC). The NFCC Chair represents fire and rescue in a range of government and sector forums, and is the first line of advice to Ministers during major incidents. The NFCC Chair is supported by two vice chairs who provide support and advice. The aims of NFCC are to: Strengthen the professional / operational leadership of the Fire and Rescue Service Improve national coordination Reduce duplication; increase efficiency Support local service delivery Provide increased influence for Fire and Rescue Authorities and their Services.

Professionalism and partnership working celebrated at NFCC’s Prevention Awards 2024 Fire and rescue (FRS) Prevention teams from across the UK were recognised at NFCC’s Celebrating Prevention Awards 2024 last week. More than 70 nominations were received by the judging panel recognising the incredible work FRSs are undertaking across road, home and water safety, as well as safeguarding, children & young people and partnership working. All the nominations demonstrated some fantastic Prevention practice from FRSs across the country, and the excellence of nominations made the decisions by the judging panels hard work with a great deal of discussion. Particularly poignant this year was the introduction of The Donna Crossman Children & Young People Award building on the legacy of Donna changing the lives of so many young people, and to ensure that her memory is continued to be honoured and remembered by all in the sector.
