This site will provide details of how to enter the events, what the results were or how to contact the key organisers if you have any queries. In many ways the site is actually your site - the past and present members of the British Fire and Rescue Service, for if you have taken part in an event or intend to organise one, contact the Section Secretaries with any comments, details, reviews or pictures and they can be 'uploaded' for all to share.
It is within your power to be a part of the evolution of this website and we all look forward to your active participation.

Foreword by Chair
As we enter a period of Covid-19 endemic, we can reflect on the actions taken by fire and rescue staff during the Covid-19 pandemic period. You rose to the challenge! You responded rapidly to challenging events and contributed greatly to the needs of local communities.
Through these demanding times, it was highlighted that good physical and mental health and wellbeing were key for fire and rescue past and present staff, to overcome all the challenges put before them. Therefore, for FireSport UK (FSUK) it is prevalent that we continue to maintain and enhance our co-ordinating role in promoting sport, fitness and leisure activities for serving and retired staff.
We need to look to the future; we need to look after each other.
This site is your site, let us work together and take positive strides – teamwork is all about collaborating with others to reach a common goal. Sport provides much more than physical benefits, it builds comradery, offers friendship and promotes positive sports mentors.
FSUK activities can also be used to help achieve a number of the aims of the UK fire and rescue services. Sporting events offer a great opportunity for engagement with people within the local community, and can be leveraged to deliver fire safety and prevention messages, along with targeted sections of the community for recruitment purposes.
