Fire Department

A fire department is an emergency and public-safety service, not a retail shop.

What to expect

Non-emergency visits, inspections or educational activities have their own access arrangements.

A good place to start

For a genuine emergency, use the local emergency number. For a non-emergency enquiry, contact the responsible department and ask which team handles the request before visiting.

What to compare

  • Emergency versus enquiry
  • Responsible department
  • Appointment arrangements
Find the right organisation

Explain what you need and where you live. Check which organisation is responsible, whether you need an appointment and which documents to bring. Ask about accessibility or communication support if needed.
