About us:
Here in Greater Manchester we believe in leading the way and doing things differently. GMCA plays a huge role in bringing people and organisations together. Devolution gives local people more control over issues that affect our area. It means that city regions speak with one voice and we can make the strongest case for resources and investment. It also helps the entire North of England achieve its full potential.

GMFRS is currently undergoing a service wide review under the title of “Programme for Change” (PfC), which has been driven from a number of factors, including: the response to the Manchester Arena attack, the Kerslake Report and feedback from frontline Firefighters with the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. More information about the PfC can be found on our website here: https://manchesterfire.gov.uk/programme-for-change/.
