Kent Fire and Rescue Service is responsible for delivering fire and rescue services to more than 1.6 million people in Kent and Medway, from 66 fire stations and 4 fire safety offices.
With more than 400km (250 miles) of motorway and major trunk roads, Kent Fire and Rescue Service is used to dealing with a huge range of hazardous and dangerous incidents every day.
More than 225km (139 miles) of coastline, inland waterways and the busiest sea channel in the world means Kent Fire and Rescue Service works closely with HM Coastguard and the Royal Air Force when called upon to deal with off-shore ship fires and rescues. Firefighters also get called upon to help with many smaller incidents on our inland waterways and the Thames Estuary.
The White Cliffs at Dover, present their own unique challenge each time the service's line rescue team is called out to pluck people to safety.
Kent and Medway also has a diverse range of industries including paper-making factories, processing plants, nuclear power generators and other potentially hazardous businesses.
