Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) has temporarily suspended some activities as a result of COVID-19.

Please select from the list below the service that you received from NFRS:
Have information on a deliberate fire? Know something about an attack on a firefighter or fire response vehicle?
Tell FireStoppers what you know.
Even small outdoor fires can be dangerous, because they place additional stress on our limited resources – dealing with a nuisance fire affects our ability to respond to more serious incidents like house fires or Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs). Attacks on firefighters put those who are there to protect you in danger. If you have information regarding an incident of deliberate fire, or an attack on a firefighter or fire response vehicle you can tell us what you know, 100% anonymously.
We are interested in what you know, not your identity.
Dial: 0800 169 5558.
Or complete the online form: www.firestoppersreport.co.uk
100% anonymous. Always.
