Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service

Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service is the statutory fire and rescue service for Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness in England.

Cumbria Fire Service was formed in 1974 after local government was reorganised.

Every fire and rescue service in England and Wales is periodically subjected to a statutory inspection by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).

The inspection investigates how well the service performs in each of three areas.

On a scale of outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate, Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service was rated as follows: Of the 38 fire stations,[3] there are six wholetime in Barrow-in-Furness, Carlisle East and West, Whitehaven, Workington and Kendal), of which three are supported by retained firefighters; two day-crewed (Ulverston and Penrith); and 30 retained.
