National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) Revenue and Competitors

The National Fire Chiefs Council’s overarching vision is to be the professional voice for the UK Fire and Rescue Service, providing advice and support for all professional and technical matters. NFCC will deliver the unified professional voice of the UK fire and rescue service. As a collective - through the respective Chief Fire Officers of all UK fire and rescue services - NFCC manages national work programmes through its eight Coordination Committees. This approach ensures a joined-up approach to achieve programme aims, while driving improvements and development nationally.. NFCC also supports strong political leadership for government, including for the devolved administrations. A full-time Chair position delivers a consistent approach, while establishing stronger relationships with stakeholders and the wider sector; most significantly central government. NFCC is also the single point of contact for the Home Office, fire professionals and partners such as the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC). The NFCC Chair represents fire and rescue in a range of government and sector forums, and is the first line of advice to Ministers during major incidents. The NFCC Chair is supported by two vice chairs who provide support and advice. The aims of NFCC are to: Strengthen the professional / operational leadership of the Fire and Rescue Service Improve national coordination Reduce duplication; increase efficiency Support local service delivery Provide increased influence for Fire and Rescue Authorities and their Services.
