National Fire Chiefs Council

NFCC is an independent membership association and the professional voice of UK fire and rescue services.

We support fire and rescue services and members in transforming their role and improving their services to meet changing demands and resources for the benefit of society.

NFCC is continually improving

Our guidance, products, and toolkits provide Fire and Rescue services with tools, guidance, and resources they can use to improve, adapt, and standardise in every area of their work.

NFCC works in strategic partnership

We aim to create and promote outstanding service delivery working with partner organisations, governments, private sector bodies, communities, and international FRS bodies.
