The Association was founded in 1976, as the Retained Firefighters' Union (RFU) and changed its name to "The Fire and Rescue Services Association" (FRSA) in 2018.
The FRSA is a member led organisation committed to protecting and modernising the terms and conditions, health & well being support and working practices within the Fire and Rescue Service.
The FRSA has a no strike constitution, FRSA members will not put their communities at risk, and they prefer the power of argument rather than the argument of power.
