Ministry of Defence Fire and Rescue Services
- Defence Fire and Rescue Service - Civilian Fire Service which Protects all Ministry of Defence Premises. It is Controlled by the Ministry of Defence and is therefore a fire service controlled ultimately by the UK Government along with their Local Authority Fire Service counterparts. The Defence Fire and Rescue Service is covered by the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 and therefore has the same powers of entry and enforcement as a Local Authority Fire Service.
- Royal Air Force Firefighting and Rescue Service - Also controlled by the MoD through the Royal Air Force, the RAFFRS cover mainly RAF sites with runways to provide specialst aircraft firefighting and rescue capability. In most cases non-Local Area or Public fire services will call upon the public fire service for assistance.

“the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“What cannot stand must fall; and the measure of our sincerity and therefore of the respect of men, is the amount of health and wealth we will hazard in the defence of our right. An old farmer, my neighbor across the fence, when I ask him if he is not going to town-meeting, says: “No, ‘t is no use balloting, for it will not stay; but what you do with the gun will stay so.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““... Ain’t it a caution to us not to fix
No limits to what rose in rubbing sticks
On fire to scare away the pterodix
When man first lived in caves along the creeks?”
“Marvelous world in nineteen-twenty-six.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Here I pause in my sojourning, giving thanks for having come,
come to trust, at every turning, God will guide me safely home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God,
Came to rescue me from danger, precious presence, precious blood.”
—Robert Robinson (1735–1790)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
