The Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is the county-wide, statutory emergency fire and rescue service for the ceremonial county of Wiltshire, England. It is administered by a joint authority of 13 members, 9 appointed by Wiltshire County Council and 4 by Swindon Borough Council. They serve for an annual term.[1]

The service is also one of the few to have trained in cave and quarry rescue, having to cover the underground area of Corsham. The fire and rescue service's headquarters is located at Manor House, Potterne, Devizes, Wiltshire.

As part of the FiReControl project, Wiltshire Fire and Rescue's control room will switch over to the regional control centre in Taunton. Originally scheduled to take place in September 2010, the revised cutover is now August 2011.[2]
