Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service's Fire Plan 2025-2029 - Consultations

What is the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service's Fire Plan?

The Fire Plan is the overarching strategy for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) for the next four years. It places GMFRS at the heart of the Greater Manchester Mayor’s ambitions for Greater Manchester and is central to the Chief Fire Officer’s roadmap to creating an outstanding fire and rescue service. 

The three proposed priorities for GMFRS are:

• Help make our communities safer and more resilient
• Deliver a first-class emergency response
• Ensure Service excellence, inclusivity, and sustainability

How were the priorities and plan developed?

This draft plan was developed by looking at risks, reviewing our statutory responsibilities, considering city-region goals, and holding early engagement sessions. These sessions have included two polls surveying over 3,800 Greater Manchester residents and workshops to find out what matters most to our communities. 

Many residents highlighted the importance of public value and preventing emergencies, and we have reflected this in our proposals.
