Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority was established on 1st April 1986 by the Local Government Act 1985 which made provision for joint authorities to be established in the major metropolitan areas following the abolition of the metropolitan county councils.

Our Story: 

There is nothing more tragic to us than loss of life so we will do everything we can to prevent this happening. Saving lives and keeping our firefighters safe matters to us. We are a team of diverse people undertaking different roles but working together to achieve outstanding impact.

We are part of our community - it’s where we are from, it’s where we have brought up our families. We reflect our area - looking after each other and showing kindness.

Our teams continue to shape our story putting our community at the heart of everything we do. We have a long and proud history of being bold - a mindset of let’s try it - let’s do it. For Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, good enough is never good enough. We are our community and we know the part we can play - our place, our culture and our people are what make us great.
