Who We Are
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority have been recognised as the top-performing Fire and Rescue Service in the region. Serving a population of over two million people across nearly 800 square miles, the authority provides fire cover 24/7, every day of the year.
All emergency 999 calls are handled by our central control room, which dispatches appliances from 40 fire stations. Each front-line fire engine is equipped with advanced rescue equipment, supported by a fleet of specialist back-up appliances.
Firefighters are trained to handle a variety of emergencies beyond fires, including road, rail, and air crashes, floods, chemical spills, and even terrorist attacks.
