WYFRS is one of 44 Fire & Rescue Services in England and Wales and the fourth biggest Metropolitan Service in England.

The West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP), known as Your Fire and Rescue Service, is under review, and we want to know what you think. Have your say!

Firefighters and colleagues across the county have been dedicated to protecting people living, working, and socialising in West Yorkshire for more than 50 years.

From January 2023, responsible persons of high-rise residential buildings must provide information to fire and rescue services, assisting them in planning for and responding to a fire in their building.
