Department of Home Affairs Headquarters Tromode Road Douglas The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service is the fire brigade of the Isle of Man Government, providing fire and rescue cover throughout the Isle of Man, an independent Crown dependency located in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland.

In the late nineteenth century, legislation was introduced permitting town commissioners to establish local fire brigades.

Douglas fire station has a permanent watch of full-time firefighters, numbering 32 in total, working in shifts.

The service is headed by a Chief Fire Officer (Mark Christian, appointed 2023), and has a rank structure based on that of the United Kingdom.

The largest, at Douglas, is crewed by both wholetime firefighters and retained firefighters, whilst the other six stations at Laxey, Ramsey, Kirk Michael, Peel, Rushen and Castletown, are staffed by retained crews only.
