Essex County Fire and Rescue Service Revenue and Competitors

Our vision at Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is clear: To make Essex a safe place to live, work and travel. \n\nWith a patch covering 367,000 hectares and a population of more than 1.74 million, Essex is one of the largest County fire services in the UK.\n\nWe have 51 fire stations across the county and three quarters of these are on-call. \n\nOver the last 10 years Essex has seen a 45% reduction in incidents, meaning we focus as much on prevention and protection as we do response to incidents. As well as fighting fires, attending road accidents and dealing with major emergencies, we educate and communicate to make safety the heart of our community work.\n\nOur people are our greatest asset and we value, respect and honour all they do for our Service. We create an inclusive and non-judgemental environment that respects people as individuals, embraces diversity and creates opportunities to celebrate our staff. \n\nAbove all we constantly recognise that our firefighters, control staff, support staff and volunteers are all part of one team to deliver a safer Service and a safer Essex.
