MORE ABOUT US
We have 26 stations operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We work closely with the community and our partners to provide a coordinated and cost-effective service. As well as frontline firefighters, we have many professionals working behind the scenes in important roles, which the public don’t see. We are working towards achieving ‘excellence’ in the Equality Framework. Our core role is to make Dorset safe and, if necessary, respond quickly and effectively to any emergency incident.
