Following the devolution of the Fire and Rescue Service to the National Assembly for Wales in 2004 the opportunity arose to develop a new working relationship between Wales’ three Fire and Rescue Authorities, the WLGA and the wider local government family. The WLGA Fire and Rescue Panel is part of this development.
The Panel’s aims are to:
- help develop further the relationship between the WLGA and the three Fire and Rescue Authorities
- enable discussion between the three Fire and Rescue Authorities and the WLGA on key strategic issues
- help facilitate the development of an all Wales approach where appropriate
- raise issues of concern and/or reflect views to the Welsh Assembly Government
The Panel consists of the Chief Fire Officer, Chair and Vice Chair from each Fire and Rescue Authority, together with Welsh Local Government Association’s Chief Executive, Director of Equalities and Social Justice and Community Safety Policy Officer. The Panel will meet twice yearly in Cardiff.
