The British Red Cross Fire and Emergency Support Service team

The British Red Cross Fire and Emergency Support Service (FESS) is a team of dedicated volunteers who assist members of the community following incidents such as fires, flooding, or other emergencies. They have been working alongside Humberside Fire and Rescue Service for over 30 years

The team of volunteers runs two vehicles that provide shelter and facilities for those in need following an incident, on both the north and south banks of the River Humber. They play a vital role in offering humanitarian support to individuals who may have experienced trauma due to a fire or flood and help people cope with the emotional impact of losing their home or belongings. More advice and guidance are available on our website, What to Do After a Fire, or upon request, to support recovery from the effects of emergencies.
