What Do We Do?

Lancashire’s becoming safer from fire

The effects of fire can be devastating to life and property and we are 100% committed to reducing its impact on people’s lives in Lancashire.  We take an integrated approach working closely with other organisations to prevent fire in the first place, making sure the best possible protection measures are in place and providing a first-class emergency response if the worst happens.

We’re pleased to be among the top performing services in the country, as we think the public of Lancashire deserve the best.  But we’re not complacent.   We know there’s still work to be done to make us even safer.
