County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service

When you dial 999 we’ll respond. What most people don’t realise is that part of our job is to prevent accidents before they happen. The Fire and Rescue Service undertake a number of activities, aimed at making our communities safer and stronger. We know that responding to emergencies is our first duty but we also recognise we can help prevent fires in the home and at work.
