We have a proud history, and since our foundation in 1918 have helped create and develop the modern fire and rescue service.

We aim to:

Provide a leading, independent voice for firefighters that helps improves fire and rescue service

The FBU represents over 85% of the uniformed staff of the UK fire and rescue service. Our members are frontline public service workers – covering the roles of firefighter to area manager, including emergency fire control staff and firefighters working the retained duty system.
This includes over 95% of the uniformed staff within Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service.
