Every year emergency service chiefs, their teams and services, suppliers and industry supporters get together at the prestigious One Great George Street, London, to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the fire and emergency services. The Excellence in Fire & Emergency Awards applaud innovative working practices, influential leadership, forward-thinking projects and commitment to the values of the fire and emergency services.

FIRE magazine was pleased to present the sixth annual Excellence in Fire & Emergency Awards on Friday 6th December 2019. With over 120 nominations, the awards recognise the very best in the fire and emergency services. This year we launched the Young People and LGBT+ awards, ensuring the EFEs are the most inclusive and aspirational awards in the emergency services sector.
