The Swedish Association of Fire Officers
The Swedish Association of Fire Officers
SBB is a professional association without trade union or political ties for fire officers. Our independence makes us a strong and reliable voice in the development of the Swedish rescue service. We actively use our strong position to influence the development of Sweden's fire officers through various activities at local and national level that promote the dissemination of knowledge, experience transfer and collaboration. Our regional associations play a central role in implementing activities locally and working to increase knowledge sharing and networking.
