twitter facebook linkedin youtube instagram flickr search Menu Our job is to keep the 2.9 million people of the West Midlands safe. We serve a diverse population across Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton. We’re the second largest fire and rescue service in England, covering an area of 902 square kilometres which include areas with the highest risk in England outside of London. We operate 38 whole-fire stations across the West Midlands with over 1200 firefighters working to make the West Midlands safer, stronger and healthier. There’s a lot more to West Midlands Fire Service than just putting out fires though. From the risk based locations of our stations, our fire authority and ‘strategic enabling team’ and how we’re governed, to Our Plan – our 3 year strategy for keeping you safe.

It’s a rolling, three-year document which covers things like reducing serious traffic accidents, helping people have safer, healthier lives and making sure we tackle emergencies effectively and safely. Visit ‘Our Plan’ to find out more about how we manage our response, prevention and protection work. Visit Our Plan The West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority West Midlands Fire Service is governed by a fire authority made up of 15 councillors representing our local councils. They are also joined by a West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner representative and two co-opted Members. There are four decision-making committees and two advisory panels/forums, in addition to the full Fire Authority, that aid in either decision making or advisory capacities. The list of the committees and their terms of reference can be found here: Committees and their terms of reference A full list of the councillors, as well as the public meetings and documents relating to fire authority governance, can be found on our Committee Management Information Service system. Our leadership team We call them our 'Strategic Enabling Team' Our Chief Fire Officer, Phil Loach, leads what we call, our Strategic Enabling Team (SET). These ‘directors’ of our service and strategic leads oversee the shape and direction of the brigade, and that we’re meeting our legal responsibilities. SET consists of managers from across the organisation ranging in areas from Emergency Response to Communications and Finance. We have 38 fire stations across the West Midlands. We split them up by Birmingham North, Birmingham South, Black Country North, Black Country South and Coventry and Solihull. We believe you should be able to contact your community fire stations directly, so their address, telephone number and social media accounts are listed.
