East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service
Achieving safer and more sustainable communities

Our Vision

Achieving safer and more sustainable communities

• We say 'safer' because safety is our primary driver, within our organisation and within our wider communities.
• We say 'sustainable',because we are working towards safeguarding future generations and their communities, both in our prevention work and in how we deliver our services.
• We say 'communities' to represent everyone we serve, including those who live in East Sussex and the City of Brighton & Hove, and those who visit our local area.
