We would like your views on whether this programme covers the the right themes and areas of policing.
Our Fire and Rescue Service assessments give you information about how your local fire and rescue service has performed in several important areas. In our latest assessments of Tyne and Wear FRS, we made the following graded judgments:
Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service serves a resident population of over 1 million, divided between the five constituent councils of Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland in the North East of England. The service has 17 fire stations.
The population density accounts for 43 percent of the North East’s population in just six percent of the total land area.
As well as putting out fires, the service responds to road traffic accidents and rescuing people and animals from heights, water, confined spaces and more.
