“To protect life, property and the environment by the efficient and effective prevention and control of fires and other emergencies including major emergencies”.

The brigade also responds to non-fire emergencies such as road traffic accidents. The Headquarters for Roscommon Fire Authority is based at the Roscommon Town Fire Station, Circular Road, Roscommon. There are four Senior Officers and one administrative person in the headquarter offices.

The Roscommon Fire Authority has six brigades in the county, all manned by retained fire fighters in Ballaghaderreen, Boyle, Castlerea, Elphin, Roscommon and Strokestown. Each Fire Brigade has one Station Officer, one Sub Officer, two Drivers and a number of firefighters. There are a total of fifty eight fire fighters in the County.
