A Fire Service that's hands on in the community

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is the largest Fire and Rescue Service outside London. That means more than 2,500 people working across 41 fire stations. All doing their bit to make Greater Manchester a better, safer place.

Together, we're responsible for some 500 square miles of the UK and a culturally diverse population of 2.5 million people.

From traditional mill towns, to sprawling inner city areas, we look after Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. No surprise we're always looking for more helping hands.

Our vision is to make Greater Manchester a safer place by being a modern, community focused and influential Fire and Rescue Service. And we're passionate about achieving this through being honest, respectful, inclusive, excellent and professional in everything we do.
