WELCOME TO
THE ASIAN FIRE SERVICE ASSOCIATION
We believe that AFSA as an organisation has the power to do good.
To make a difference. When fire and rescue services do well, society prospers and equality, diversity and inclusion have a key role to play in protecting and growing diverse communities.
As an essential provider, the fire service can create opportunities, build, innovate and cultivate a better future for the next generation.

AFSA is a diverse group in itself and one that provides a strong sense of community.
Our AFSA membership helps us, as an individual service, to play a part in a broad national programme focussed on progressing inclusion in our own workplaces. AFSA supports this community by creating and delivering relative and detailed research, which provides the bigger picture of Diversity & Inclusion topics from across the globe. AFSA has regularly provided a space for us to meet with likeminded individuals and the forum to encourage constructive debate which generates innovative ideas and a forum to share best practice.’

Jim WallaceChief Fire Officer, Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
AFSA are an incredibly supportive partner organisation and we feel sure our collaboration will grow and encourage new opportunities, break down barriers, challenge behaviours and create a better and more inclusive world.
AFSA has enabled and encouraged a highly progressive school of thought by recognising the need for early interventions and offering strong examples to positively shift Leadership thinking, policy, planning, culture and all aspects of service delivery, particularly community engagement.
The collaboration between Warwickshire Fire and Rescue and AFSA is key in celebrating the rich tapestry of our diverse communities and beyond; our relationship with AFSA and the support they offer us could not be more highly valued. Thank you AFSA!
