Kent Fire and Rescue Service (The Authority) is undertaking pre-market engagement to gain a better understanding of the current market for smoke generation equipment, training smoke fluids, and associated maintenance and support services used within firefighter training environments.

The Authority delivers a range of operational training activities including:

- Breathing Apparatus (BA) training

- Search and Rescue exercises
