Fire service research, the fitting-in website where academia and the fire service can meet - a resource for research and consultancy for the fire and rescue service and firefighters - Organised by Dr Dave Baigent this site provides a place to share your own research, to look at what others have written about the fire service and to see our commercial offerings.

 

Academics are not the experts, fire and rescue service managers are the experts.
What fitting-in can do is to help managers to recognise their expertise and to further understand the issues through that recognition.

This is what Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service had to say about the Ethos research, communications and training project (2007)
