Halifax fire service personnel are committed to improving the service delivered to the local community and the people of West Yorkshire. There is a population of 69,483 and the area incorporates 29,072 dwellings. The service is enhanced by continued training, improved communications and better inter-agency co-ordination. The team is made up of a station commander and 48 firefighters.
Co-operation is encouraged between the key partners to make West Yorkshire safer.

Personnel continue to engage in community activity and attend neighbourhood forums, partnership meetings and local projects (fun/information days).
