Our vision, mission and governance
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) is a rural service covering the area of 764 square miles. You may think that our role is straightforward – to prevent and control fires but, we do so much more than that. We respond to many different emergency incidents including road traffic collisions, water rescue, hazardous materials and flooding as well as assisting our partner agencies to keep our communities safe.
Our Vision is to keep Warwickshire the best it can be, now and in the future.
Our mission is to:
Keep people safe in their homes
Keep people safe when they are travelling in and through Warwickshire
Keep people safe in their environment
Keep people safe in their workplace
Our governance
Governance is about how we ensure we do the right things, in the right way, at the right time to deliver our priorities. It demonstrates how we engage with our communities and our accountability to them.
WFRS is a County Council Fire and Rescue service, which discharges fire and rescue functions on behalf of Warwickshire County Council (WCC) and the Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Authority (WFRA).
The authority makes sure the Service carries out its statutory duties as set out in the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, and the Fire and Rescue National Framework for England.
