Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service

Buckinghamshire Fire Brigade was created on April 1st 1948 when the wartime National Fire Service was disbanded. It is now the statutory fire service for the County of Buckinghamshire and the City of Milton Keynes, providing fire cover to a population of 800,000. Like most UK Fire Bigades it adopted the name Fire & Rescue Service following the 2004 Fire & Rescue Services Act, which saw a statutory expansion of responsibility.

The service operates 19 fire stations, 2 of which are wholetime only, 7 are wholetime and retained, and 10 stations are retained only. In 2023/24, the service responded to over 7,000 incidents.
