Nottingham City Council administers the
meetings of the Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire and
Rescue Authority. The Authority is responsible for ensuring that
the Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has the people,
equipment and training it needs to carry out its duties for fire
prevention, fire safety, firefighting and rescue, road traffic
collision extrication and rescue, and other emergency rescue
activities such as responding to flooding or terrorism
incidents.
The Authority is a ‘Combined Fire
Authority’ (CFA), as it comprises six councillors from
Nottingham City Council and twelve councillors from Nottinghamshire
County Council. The Authority makes decisions on key matters such
as strategy, policy and the budget. There are also several
sub-committees reporting to the full Authority:
·
Appointments Committee
·
Community Safety Committee
·
Finance and Resources Committee
·
Human Resources Committee
·
Personnel Committee
·
Policy and Strategy Committee
The Finance and Resources Sub-Committee is
made up of five councillors, including the Vice Chair of the
Authority. It usually meets four times each year and its meetings
are open to the public.
