About Us
Supporting Safer Communities
3SFire Community Interest Company is wholly owned by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Authority. Earned profits support a wide range of fire risk, prevention and safety awareness initiatives that complement the statutory activities of the fire and rescue authority.
Our History
______
3SFire was inaugurated in 2013 by Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority (HIWFRA) as its wholly owned fire trading business. The Company quickly expanded its range of trading activities across many sectors of the fire industry and gained a breadth of public and private sector customers.
Subsequently, 3SFire established itself as one of the most stable and successful fire authority-owned trading companies.
In April 2021, HIWFRA supported the conversion of 3SFire to become a Community Interest Company (CIC) which enabled the business to more closely align the benefits of its trading activities with the objectives of the fire service’s community safety and engagement plans.
Following the difficult challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, 3SFire CIC has embarked on an exciting new chapter of growth and delivery for the benefit of both its customers and community.
Expertise You Can Trust
Our trainers and consultants all have a fire service background enabling them to share their knowledge and expertise gained in real emergencies or fire safety situations. We regularly assess and improve our courses to ensure they align with latest legislation and best practice.
Training That Makes A Difference
We have delivered our specialist training to a wide variety of businesses across the private, public and third sectors that have all consistently provided us with positive feedback and repeat custom.
The 3SFire Team
While many people know 3SFire through our training, consultancy and fire safety services, behind the scenes we’re supported by a small but dedicated core team.
From left to right:
- Tanya Wheatley, Finance & Office Manager
- Jo Scarth, Managing Director
- Gemma Lawrence, Training & Operations Coordinator
As a small team, we wear many hats, supporting clients, coordinating training, managing projects and keeping the business running smoothly day-to-day.
Alongside our core team, we work with a trusted network of associate trainers and consultants from across the fire and rescue sector and beyond. This allows us to bring together the right skills and experience for each project while maintaining the personal service that our clients value.
We’re proud to work with some fantastic organisations and particularly grateful to the many clients who continue to return to us for training, consultancy and fire safety support.
