Section 1: Part 2 - Charging policies

Under section 18A of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 fire authorities may charge for non-emergency services, as long as they do not make any profit.

The Service does not charge for attending incidents, but charges are applied for special services such as copies of fire reports, provision of some fire safety equipment to businesses, attending automatic false alarms to repeat locations and interviews with officers.
