South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS; Template:Langx) is the fire and rescue service covering the ten Welsh principal areas of Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen and Vale of Glamorgan.
SWFRS was created in 1996 by the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, which reformed Welsh local government. It was created by a merger of the previous fire brigades of Mid Glamorgan, South Glamorgan and Gwent. It covers an area of around Script error: No such module "convert". with a population of around 1.5Script error: No such module "String".million.[1]
The fire authority which runs the service is a joint-board made up of councillors from the ten local authorities covered by the service.[1]
Since October 2017, SWFRS has shared its control room with Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and South Wales Police at the police headquarters in Bridgend,[2] an arrangement that is expected to save £1Script error: No such module "String".million annually across both fire and rescue services.[3]
Fire stations
SWFRS operates 47 fire stations, of which 20 operate "wholetime" staffing (full-time firefighters) and 36 operate "retained" staffing (on-call firefighters), with some stations operating both crewing methods.[4]
