ABOUT NWFS Formed in 1993, NWFS was established as a self-help group for women in the Fire and Rescue Service. There is a wide variety of people involved, including firefighters, control staff, administrative and support staff and members of airport and works fire services. Since its formation, NWFS has sought to influence the equality agenda. The network is recognised nationally, holding a seat on the National Fire Services Practitioners’ Forum, amongst other inputs to the local and national agenda. NWFS also nurtures strong international links with other women’s networks, such as Germany, the USA and Australia, including attendance at each other’s seminars and events. On top of all that, NWFS provides numerous opportunities for members (and others with an interest) to attend local and national conferences, seminars and social events, in order to share experiences, face new challenges in a supportive atmosphere and make new friends along the way. NWFS is an independent voluntary group,funded by membership and voluntary contributions. It is run by a network of elected representatives, who are supported by two salaried staff.
