The Fire Service College is responsible for providing leadership, management and advanced operational training courses for senior fire officers from the UK and foreign fire authorities. It is located at Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire, England. It is a Trading Fund and executive agency and comes under the authority of the Department for Communities and Local Government.
The college provides the full range of training for firefighters at all levels, including initial training for recruit firefighters. Whilst Scotland has its own Fire Service College at Gullane near Edinburgh, many Scottish fire officers go to Moreton on the more specialist and senior ranking courses.
