This state-of-the-art Fire Service Headquarters provides the support functions for our 40 fire stations. In support of our sustainability efforts the new building has over 250 solar panels, heat pumps, hybrid ventilation and electric vehicle charging. 

New employees, including trainee firefighters, start their journey with WYFRS at our headquarters site. The Centre also plays a vital role in ensuring our firefighters' knowledge and skills remain current and relevant, to meet the demands of the risks in West Yorkshire.
