Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service

We are Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS).

We provide all of Northern Ireland – an area of over 5,500 square miles, with a population of 1.88 million – with fire and rescue services.

We are here to make Northern Ireland a safer place.

We respond to fires; road traffic collisions; and specialist rescue incidents including flooding, chemical incidents, collapsed buildings and a wide range of other emergencies.

We provide a range of community engagement initiatives, giving advice to help keep people safe from fire and the other types of emergencies that we respond to.

We have a dedicated Regional Control Centre. From here all 999 emergency calls for NIFRS are answered, and Fire Appliances and Crews are dispatched to attend emergency incidents.

We also have a wide variety of Support positions throughout the organisation, which are critical to the delivery of an effective and efficient fire and rescue service.
