Chief fire officer Peter Dartford: "This is a fantastic accolade and one that we are very proud of. The majority of organisations that feature in the list are top international companies so for us, as such a small organisation in comparison, this is a massive achievement which speaks volumes about the type of organisation we are.
"Unfortunately firefighting is still often seen as a male dominated profession but we've worked hard to dispel this myth and as a result we have one of the highest proportions of female firefighters in the country."
