Supporting Fire & Rescue teams with managing risks
Delivering impact for fire and rescue teams and the communities they serve
The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) has laid out an ambitious Digital Data and Technology Strategy for 2024-2026 with one single aim: to revolutionise fire and rescue services through enhanced digital capabilities.
At Node4, our knowledgeable and professional team are experts in providing UK fire services with solutions that help them support the citizens they serve – and we’re uniquely positioned to support your fire service in achieving the NFCC’s strategic goals. Here’s how:
Our expertise
Ensuring data quality
Relying on outdated legacy technology to manage and analyse data can hinder productivity – and data is crucial to enable effective decision-making. Armed with fresh knowledge and insight from intelligent software like Microsoft Power BI is one way your fire service can take a more proactive approach – and as a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we’re best placed to help you do just that.
Strengthening cyber security and digital resilience
Strengthening your security posture is vital for fire and rescue services to detect and respond to potential threats, ensuring sensitive information is always protected. Our fully managed Security Operations Centres and using Microsoft technology (such as Sentinel) enable fire and rescue teams to effectively manage and react to threats. We’re ready to help you fortify the digital defences of your fire and rescue service.
Boosting productivity and efficiency
Automating manual processes and streamlining workloads will help to free up fire and rescue resources for more critical tasks, particularly in the field.

At the heart of our transformation projects is one key purpose: to empower your staff and end-users to maximise their use of technology through tailored training. From digital skills assessments to skills scans and tailored courses, we can get your team up to speed in no time.
Driving Digital Transformation and Innovation
Staying ahead of the curve means embracing continuous and strategic innovation. By creating a digital success roadmap – whether it’s moving to cloud computing, using AI-driven analytics or other ambitions – your fire and rescue service can maximise the value of your investments.
