Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service
Our Fire Authority
Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service serves the area covered by Buckinghamshire Council and Milton Keynes City Council. To oversee the service, these two councils appoint members to the Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Fire Authority. The number of members appointed from each council is proportionate to the number of local government electors in each area.
Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Fire Authority is responsible for making decisions on policy, finance, and resources. The Authority’s main responsibilities include approving:
- Annual budget and precept (‘council tax’).
- Plans and strategies including the Community Risk Management Plan.
- The size and composition of its committees
