By working together with our customers, we help to prevent fires and keep Kent and Medway safe.
The purpose of a Safety and Wellbeing Plan is to inform customers about changes we intend to make, or would like customers’ views on, before we make them. This plan focuses on what we continued to do during the Covid-19 pandemic to help customers all over Kent and Medway. We have also given a summary of what you receive as a customer, for the money you pay in your Council Tax to help run the fire and rescue service across Kent and Medway.
Consultation on the Plan has now closed, but you can still read the plan and the supporting documents from the link below.

Businesses have a legal duty to ensure their premises are safe for everyone who uses or visits them. If you have a business, Kent Fire and Rescue Service can offer you help and advice on understanding your responsibilities and how to take precautions, minimise the risk and meet the legal requirements.
Businesses are legally required to carry out a fire risk assessment. The type of assessment you need will depend on your type of business. Learn what you need to do and how we can help.
