Tanzania’s Fire and Rescue Force, known as Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji, is a government service under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Its mission is to protect lives and property by responding to emergencies and promoting public safety across the country. The Force provides emergency call response, firefighting and rescue operations, fire prevention education, and fire safety inspections. Its work also includes preparedness training and support during incidents such as water-related emergencies, floods, and other disasters.

The Force operates through divisions responsible for administration and finance, operations, and public safety, with regional teams serving communities throughout Tanzania. It also provides public-facing digital services, including e-Zimamoto for fire safety services, an inspection and revenue management system, and dedicated portals for recruitment and official communications. Training is supported by the Fire and Rescue Academy and the official training college in Ilala, Dar es Salaam. Through its emergency response, inspections, education, and training, the Force works to strengthen safety and readiness for residents, businesses, and public institutions.
