London Fire Brigade aims to make London the safest global city with a world-class fire and rescue service

There are over 115,000 fire hydrants in London we inspect them every 4 years. Hydrant inspections are managed by the Water Team. In London, you are never more than 90 metres from a fire hydrant.

In some circumstances, people need extra fire safety precautions like flame retardant bedding and portable protective systems (PPS).

Thousands of new homes and business premises are built in London every year – we consult to reduce fire risks as these buildings are constructed.

London Fire Brigade plans for the unexpected, as well as our day-to-day responsibilities of education, prevention and response.

As part of our fire prevention work, we produce a diverse range of guidance and publications – browse and download here.

London Fire Brigade has fireboats, used for firefighting, safety and rescue. These are moored in Lambeth.

Following a fire, there's often a need to obtain an official confirmation and details of the incident – here's how to access it.
