Hello, World!

This is a stand-alone website, launched and managed by our own members, although we continue to maintain a close association with Dorset and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service.

We have tried to avoid making it unnecessarily complex to use.

This is not intended to replace The Branch newsletter which will continue to be published 2 – 3 monthly and available to view/download/print direct from this website.

Members are encouraged to give feedback using the CONTACT US form.

Membership is open to those who have served in any fire service for 5 or more years. Former wholetime, retained, control and non-uniformed members are eligible to join. Membership is also open to widows and widowers of fire service members.

The annual subscription falls due on 1st April. The subscription is only £15 and you are sure to find this represents value for money.

Don’t delay, join us today

The Branch publishes a local magazine called "The Branch"

The websites of all government departments and many other agencies and public bodies have been merged into www.gov.uk. Simpler - Clearer - Faster

Recognising that WRFA members who live alone may be put in a particularly difficult situation by the present enforced lockdown caused by the pandemic, the WRFA has taken steps to ensure that our members in that situation are regularly contacted by telephone to ascertain their circumstances and do all that is possible to give assistance and reassurance.

The latest SEPTEMBER 2023 edition of The Branch magazine is now published. Go to THE BRANCH page to access.

Please note, there has been a change of date and venue for our CHRISTMAS LUNCH.

It will now be held at BOWOOD HOTEL, DERRY HILL on Monday 11th December 2023.
