Making Dumfries and Galloway A Safer Place to Live and Visit

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Dumfries and Galloway Fire and Rescue web site, as the new Chief Officer for the next six months I will be ensuring the Service maintains its existing high standards in all areas of our business, and that very much includes this site.

In these days of information super highways, it is important that users of the site get up to date information on what the Fire and Rescue Service are doing, from fire prevention information and advice to any job opportunities that may arise through to the Fire and Rescue Authority's Service Improvement Plan for the current year, this describes the actions the Service is taking to improve our performance in an efficient and cost effective way.

The information available will also ensure that users can identify the correct person or department to contact, if they wish any further advice relating to our Service.

So come on in and browse awhile, find out more about the work of a modern high performing Fire and Rescue Service.
