Fire and Rescue Authorities are responsible for considering the impact of and planning against risks to their Fire and Rescue Service and local communities including environmental risks.

Funding for all Fire and Rescue responsibilities is delivered via the Local Government Settlement. Fire and Rescue Authorities will receive around £2.5bn in 2022/23 to enable the delivery of their services to communities.
