Protecting Frontline Workers

Body Cameras for Fire and Rescue Teams

Firefighters are one of the first services on the scene in an emergency situation and we rely upon them to provide critical life saving operations. 

However, there has been a sharp increase in instances of anti-social behaviour directed towards them as they attempt to protect and preserve life. 

Statistics released by the NFCC show that:

  • 930 firefighters were attacked while on duty in 2021

  • These attacks resulted in 54 injuries

  • 18% of incidents involve missiles and objects being thrown at firefighters

  • Attacks soar around bonfire night

Because of these shocking statistics, there are widespread calls for Fire and Rescue teams to be fitted with body cameras.

Safety for frontline workers

Why should Fire and Rescue Services use Body Cams?

Fire and Rescue departments across the UK are implementing body worn video solutions to gather accurate, reliable accounts of operations, rescue missions and interactions with the public.

Aside from the operational benefits they offer, body cams are becoming increasingly vital in the fire service as more and more firefighters have experienced an increase in both physical and verbal attacks.

Our robust and durable body worn cameras provide frontline teams with valuable evidence to support fire investigations, as well as aid criminal investigations and prosecutions. Additional benefits include:

  • Evidence gathering to support investigations, particularly in cases of arson
  • Footage to retrospectively review for training purposes and best practices
  • Enhanced situational awareness and improved decision making
  • Improved confidence in dealing with public-facing situations
  • Reduced levels of anti-social behaviour towards firefighters
