Our vision and strategic aims

Our vision is for a safe community where there are no preventable deaths or injuries in fires or other emergencies.

Put simply, we want to reduce risk and save lives. To achieve this we need to strive for operational and community safety excellence, demonstrate value for money, and put people, in the communities we serve and our staff, at the centre of everything we do.

These are our strategic aims.
