What is FirePRO?

FirePRO is the only network dedicated to supporting the work of communication staff working within the UK fire and rescue service.

Membership is free and if you work for a fire service in a marketing, communication, press office or internal engagement role you are already a member.

FirePRO's role is to promote the role of the communication profession within the fire service, supporting collaboration, encouraging the sharing of best practice and promoting the rigorous evaluation of our work.

FirePRO is led by a national committee, supported by regional networks. As well as organising an annual conference, featuring a range of speakers from within and outside the fire service, the committee has a number of workstreams requiring input.

FirePRO is entirely dependent on what its members put into the network and cannot survive on the work of just a handful of individuals. For more information on how you can get involved, or if you know someone else who you think should be receiving this newsletter, contact Alex Mills amills@syfire.gov.uk or James Morton james.morton@hantsfire.gov.uk.
