As Chief Fire Officer of Highlands & Islands Fire & Rescue Service, I am pleased to welcome you to our website. Our aim is to provide an insight into what we do and to provide access to Fire Safety advice and information.
Our Service is the most northerly in the UK covering a geographical area of approximately 12,000 square miles. We provide a fire, rescue and community safety service to the populations of the Highlands, the Shetland Islands, the Orkney Islands and the Western Isles.
