Welcome to Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Our website is a hub for you to explore and find out everything you want to know about fire safety in the home, careers, events and the latest news. We want this site to be one of our primary means in which we communicate directly with people across Staffordshire.

"Our priority is to make Staffordshire a safer place to live, work and visit."

Chief Fire Officer/Chief Executive, Peter Dartford

Across the County, from Kidsgrove and Longnor in the north, to Wombourne and Kinver in the south, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service is at the heart of your community. Our priority is to work with our partners to make our County the safest place to be and to do all we can to improve the lives and wellbeing of everyone in Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire. In particular we want to reduce deaths and serious injuries caused by accidental fires in the home and through a mixture of campaigns and home fire risk checks we're doing just that.

The future of the Service in Staffordshire is bright. With new fire stations being built we aim to take our safety message into the heart of the community where it belongs. You can discover more about our new community stations and our plans for the future in our Community section.

Enjoy exploring our site and if you have any comments or suggestions you would like to make, let us know!
