Governance, Aims and Objectives
The FPA is the UK's national fire safety organisation,
promoting fire safety within industry, commerce and the wider
public. One of 28 similar national bodies worldwide we were established
in 1946 and receive strong support from the insurance industry,
primarily through the Association of British Insurers and Lloyd's.
Our five stakeholders who currently sit on the FPA
board are:
The Association of British Insurers (ABI)
Lloyd's
The Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA)
The Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE)

In addition to the Board of Directors, FPA has an
Advisory Council, which has an independent Chair and is made up
of a broad range of stakeholders from the UK fire industry and
includes representatives from both central and local government
and from industry and commerce. The agreed aims and objectives
of the FPA are:
To protect people and property and the environment
by advancing fire prevention and protection techniques
To collaborate with central Government, the Fire
Service and other agencies in this work
To focus national and European attention on these
issues
To influence consumers and business related decision
making

trends and provide research
