FiReControl project

FiReControl: a national network of nine regional control rooms The Government recognises the critical importance of protecting public safety and increasing the nation's resilience.

As part of the Government's £1 billion programme for the Fire and Rescue Service it is investing in a nationally linked network of control centres across England. This is known as the FiReControl project.

The FiReControl project will provide an integrated and modern network of nine Regional Control Centres (RCCs). They will be able to receive calls and mobilise resources across the country.

The FiReControl project has three main drivers:

increasing resilience
enhancing capability
improving efficiency

The RCCs will form part of the Critical National Infrastructure (external link) and as such will have to meet stringent security and resilience requirements.
