In 1994, the Fire Officers’ Association was formed with the vision of providing representation for middle ranking officers of the Fire and Rescue Service through a non-political, non-confrontational organisation run by like-minded people. Non Political… because we believe our core business should be about our members’ employment issues and nothing else. and Non-confrontational… because we believe it should be possible to negotiate sensible agreements through the power of argument, not industrial action.

  7. Our Association: • Believesthat all of our interests coincide with the present and future needs of the British Fire & Rescue Service. • Knowsthat the Nation’s well being and the safety of communities are linked to this profession and knows your career, family and future are dependent upon the same profession. • Speaksas one responsible voice which is recognised and respected in all forums that effect both your prospects and national Fire & Rescue Service issues. • Believesin being informative, democratic and non-political, has faith in our membership and whole-heartedly pursues their interests.
