Humberside Fire and Rescue Service


Humberside Fire and Rescue Service is the statutory fire and rescue service covering the area of what was the county of Humberside, but now consists of the unitary authorities of East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston upon Hull, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire in northern England.

History

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service was formed in 1974 as a result of the new Government laws stating that all areas must have an official fire service. When Humberside County Council, was abolished in 1995, a parliamentary combination order came into effect, establishing Humberside Fire Authority with control of all brigade personnel, equipment and premises. This is a combined fire authority, which is financed by the constituent councils of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Kingston upon Hull City Council, North Lincolnshire Council and North East Lincolnshire Council.
In 1987 Humberside Fire Brigade changed its name to Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. This was to reflect the role they now play in many aspects of fire safety as they do much more than just putting out fires.
In 2007 Humberside Fire and Rescue Service featured on a BBC One show entitled Women on Fire. Cameras followed two female firefighters during a 16-day intensive training course to allow them to become retained firefighters for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.

Recent events

On 1 January 2013 plans were submitted to Hull City Council expressing Humberside Fire and Rescue Service's intention to replace Clough Road fire station, to build a new £3.9 million facility on the same site. In April 2013 planning permission was granted by Hull City Council. The new station became operational in July 2015. In a similar fashion, due to the ongoing expansion of Hull New Theatre, Hull Central fire station was closed, having been mostly demolished beforehand, and operations were moved to a new station on Spring Street in 2017.
In January 2017 work on a £9 million Integrated Care Centre began which will include a new fire station for East Hull. The site for this is that of the former David Lister School off Rosmead Street. The site is due to open in 2018.

Service Headquarters (SHQ)

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service's headquarters are on the western outskirts of Hull in Summergroves Way near the boundary with Hessle. This building houses the majority of the Service's administration and support services including Stores, IT, Health & Safety, Training etc.
