Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the statutory fire and rescue service for the administrative county of Kent and the unitary authority area of Medway, covering a geographical area south-east of London, to the coast and including major shipping routes via the Thames and Medway rivers. The total coastline covered is 225 km (140 miles); it has 55 fire stations, and four district fire safety offices. The FRS provides emergency cover to a population of nearly 2 million.^[1]

The county’s Fire and Rescue Service borders the London Fire Brigade to the north-west of the county, Surrey to the west, East Sussex to the south-west, and Essex to the north, but is only connected via the bridge and tunnels of the Dartford Crossing.
