Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Authority
Introduction
The Fire & Rescue Authority is funded partly by the Government through the Revenue Support Grant and National Non-Domestic Rates, and partly by the local tax payer in the form of Council Tax. It is a separate entity from the Fire & Rescue Service and operates within a legal framework, which is heavily influenced by Central Government.
The Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service is accountable to the Fire & Rescue Authority, which sets out rigorous guidelines and is responsible for setting the level of revenue funding and the costs incurred in running a front line service.
In order to enable the business of the Fire & Rescue Authority to be carried out meetings are held throughout the year and reports are produced by the Chief Fire Officer, Monitoring Officer and Treasurer.
