Fire Plan


The Fire Plan outlines the work Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service is undertaking to help make our city-region safe. The Plan includes six priorities and a number of commitments to residents, businesses and partners across Greater Manchester.

The priorities in the Plan are to:

  1. Provide a fast, safe and effective response

  2. Help people reduce the risks of fires and other emergencies

  3. Help protect the built environment

  4. Use resources sustainably and deliver the most value

  5. Develop a culture of excellence, equality and inclusivity

  6. Integrate our services in every locality with those of partner agencies

The Plan has been written by Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Dave Russel (External website)Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, and is overseen by the Deputy Mayor for Policing, Crime, Criminal Justice and Fire, Kate Green (external website).

The Service’s annual delivery plans outline how the Fire Plan will be delivered each year and form part of GMFRS’s community risk management planning process. Progress is reported each year in the Service’s annual delivery reports.
