Who you could be in London Fire Brigade There are four functions in our brigade: Firefighters – on the frontline, rescuing; Control, answering 999 calls; Prevention and Protection, reducing risk; and Head Office, ensuring the organisation runs smoothly. We depend on each other to serve and protect London. FIREFIGHTERS Our firefighters are out on the frontline saving lives, homes, businesses and streets. Yes, they put out fires. But they also rescue people from flooding, road collisions, major incidents and much more. And they educate Londoners on how to be safe. Learn about Firefighters Prevention and Protection Our Prevention and Protection teams reduce risks across the capital. They inspect buildings, enforce fire safety laws, and investigate fires. Their work stops many fires before they start. Learn about Prevention and Protection CONTROL Our Control staff are based at the London Operations Centre. When you call 999, the call is transferred to them. They advise callers on what to do in an emergency and gather the necessary information to mobilise our firefighters. Learn about Control Professional Services From IT to public affairs to education, our Professional Services teams are vital to ensuring the Brigade runs smoothly. Whether that’s budgeting for new equipment, creating communication campaigns, or a thousand other responsibilities.
