About London Fire Brigade

One of the world's largest fire and rescue services, keeping London safe.

London Fire Brigade is the busiest fire and rescue service in the country. What's more, we are one of the largest firefighting and rescue organisations in the world protecting people and property from fire within the 1,587 square kilometres of Greater London.

The LFB is run by the London Fire Commissioner, a corporation sole and the fire and rescue authority for London.

Our organisational structure is split into three areas:

• Operational staff – our firefighters
• Control – our 999 call handlers
• Non-uniformed and non-operational – our essential support team
