The Fire and Rescue Services Association (FRSA) is a British trade union representing all fire service staff employed under grey or green book terms and conditions

Contents

The Association was founded in 1976, as the Retained Firefighters' Union (RFU) and changed its name to "The Fire and Rescue Services Association" (FRSA) in 2018.

The FRSA is a member led organisation committed to protecting and modernising the terms and conditions , health & well being support and working practices within the Fire and Rescue Service.

The FRSA has a no strike constitution, FRSA members will not put their communities at risk, and they prefer the power of argument rather than the argument of power.
