About
Strathclyde Fire & Rescue is the second largest fire and rescue service in the United Kingdom, and one of the largest in Europe. \r\n\r\nSFR serves a population of about 2.3 million people across a 14,000 square kilometre area that ranges from rural and island communities to Scotland's largest city, Glasgow. \r\n\r\nThe Service is administered by the Board of Strathclyde Fire & Rescue whose members are drawn from the 12 unitary authorities that make up Strathclyde. On 30 September 2005, the structure of Strathclyde Fire & Rescue was changed from four commands to ten areas to enable a closer working relations with local authorities and other partner organisations such as the Police and Health Service. \r\n\r\nSFR employs 2,196 wholetime, 630 retained, 301 volunteer, 70 operations support and 520 support staff. The firefighters are based at 113 strategically sited fire stations as far flung as Appin in Argyll to the north, Biggar in South Lanarkshire to the east, Colmonell in South Ayrshire to the south, and Balemartine on the island of Tiree to the west. \r\n\r\nIn 2005 our firefighters attended 57,800 incidents, rescuing 745 people from fires and 783 people involved in road accidents and other non-fire related incidents. \r\n\r\nThroughout 2006, Strathclyde Fire & Rescue has placed extra emphasis on fire prevention and fire safety education. As part of new remits given by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, the service now carries out inspections of care homes. Last year there were more than 20,000 inspections of business and other premises by Strathclyde Fire & Rescue personnel. \r\n\r\nHome fire safety is also a major priority. In the first six months of this year, over 8,000 householders throughout Strathclyde asked us to carry out fire safety visits in their homes. During these visits, firefighters gave advice on reducing fire risk and also handed out free smoke alarms to vulnerable people and those who had not already installed alarms/domestic sprinklers.
