The Scottish Fire and Rescue Services help to make Scotland a much safer place to live.
The main aim of the services is to minimise the economic and social impact of fire and other emergencies, reduce risk and improve community safety by:
- Reducing injury and loss of life from fire and accidents
- Reducing the number of fires
- Reducing damage to the built and natural environment
- Reducing fire related crime and anti-social behaviour
- Providing value for money
Fire and Rescue Services also dedicate resources towards fire prevention and education in the community to reduce the danger of fires starting.
