Fire Department: Fire & Sea Rescue Service
The Ascension Island Government Fire & Sea Rescue Service first started to operate as an independent service in 2001. During this time additional equipment and manning resources have been accumulated to further promote fire safety awareness through training and open days.

The service has an inshore lifeboat for sea rescue purposes which was brought into operation at the beginning of 2004. This additional service has developed well and has proved its worth on several occasions in assisting local fishing vessels reporting engine failures etc. whilst at sea.

The Fire and Sea Rescue Services consists of four full-time and five retained members of staff.
The retained members mostly cover for lifeboat duties but also partake in fire-fighting training, this allows cover for leave/sickness etc. for the full time staff as required.

Apart from operational duties we also have our scheduled routine tasks which are carried out on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, for example we provide training to other organisations including fire extinguisher use, fire prevention etc. we also service first aid fire-fighting appliances for various clubs and private businesses on the island along with relevant advice on fire safety issues.

Although the Service can still be described as being in the early stages it is hoped that through further development and commitment the service will continue to grow.

We offer:
Continuous Fire/Incident cover.
Fire Safety Advice.
Assistance to Serco & CSR Fire Services when required.

Office hours:
Mon-Fri 08.00 to 17.00hrs

We are located at the Anchor Building to the rear of Tasty Tucker Café
