The North West Fire and Rescue Management Board
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority appoints eight of the 20 members of the North West Fire and Rescue Management Board. The Board was created in 2004 and comprises representatives from each of the five North West Fire and Rescue Authorities - Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside.
What is the purpose of the board?
Regional management boards are a key element of the Government's
modernisation agenda for the Fire and Rescue Service as set out in
the National Framework document for the Service (available from www.communities.gov.uk). The boards are tasked
with meeting Government requirements for Fire and Rescue
Authorities to work collaboratively in the following areas:
- Integration of common and specialist services
- Effective resilience plans for large scale emergencies
- Human resource functions
- Training
- Regional control centres
- Procurement
Greater Manchester leads on procurement and resilience.
The Board meets every two months, rotating around each of the constituent authorities.
