Make a complaint
We always try to deliver our services to the highest standards. If you are unhappy about something please let us know so we can try and improve. All complaints are treated seriously and will be investigated impartially.
We accept complaints about our staff, the services we provide and any other aspect of the Service.
If your complaint involves the conduct of an employee of Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service please be assured that we will consider matters very carefully. Due to confidentiality we may not be able to disclose the outcome of any internal enquiries for that particular employee, however you will receive communication about the process that will be undertaken.
If you want to complain about fire safety in a business please see our information on how to report a fire risk.
