Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, is the Local Authority Fire Service serving the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire. It comprises the four districts of Buckinghamshire – Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe – and the unitary authority of Milton Keynes.
Some 550 firefighters operate from the Service's 20 fire stations, over 90% of which are members of the Fire Brigades Union and are represented by Brigade Secretary James Wolfenden and Brigade Chair Matt Bliss.
As of the 1st April 2011 the famous Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service logo, the traditional flag for Buckinghamshire, red & black halves with a white swan in chains at its centre, will no longer feature on the uniform of its firefighters.
