The Jersey Fire and Rescue Service is the statutory fire and rescue service which deals with a broad range of incidents on the island of Jersey, including fires, road accidents, emergencies at sea, rescues from height, cliff based operations and incidents involving hazardous substances.
[1] A review of the service in 2022 highlighted "structural and resourcing challenges" which prevented it from fulfilling basic functions adequately and inhibited necessary change.
The service is trained and equipped to respond to incidents at sea, and close to shore.
This can involve recovering people who have become stranded on rocks which are exposed when the tide is low, and submerged at high-tide.
Fabrication and development included DPM Nautique and FRS Personnel Jersey has many cliffs on its coastline, and the service is able to rescue people from these cliffs using specialised equipment.
