In England, fire and rescue services are delivered by 45 Fire and Rescue Authorities (FRAs). Their structure varies:

• 15 FRAs are run by a single council (e.g. Cornwall, Isles of Scilly).
• 23 are Combined Fire Authorities (CFAs), governed by councillors from multiple councils.
• 5 serve metropolitan areas, while London and Greater Manchester’s fire services are under the authority of their elected mayors.
