DASA Security Showcase - UK Fire Service Presentation
The document summarizes research and development efforts in the UK fire service. It describes the national structure which includes a national lead, regional leads across 11 regions, and support from 50 UK fire and rescue services. It works closely with various partners from government, industry, academia, and other emergency services. The approach covers fundamental, industrial, and capability development research. Key partners include various government defense and security organizations, universities, the fire industry association, and international partners through IFAFRI. It conducts surveys to identify emerging research needs and aims to map out fire and rescue related research. Future plans include more horizon scanning, capability analysis, and challenges to access science and technology assets.

Editor's Notes
- #6 Fundamental Research’. These are new concepts generally undertaken by research organisations and academia often concluding with a proof of concept. 'Industrial Research’. This generally concludes with a prototype of a new product or system. 'Capability development'. This provides new skills, knowledge and equipment that is not currently available.
