The Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service covers some 4,500 square miles and makes-up almost two thirds of the landmass of the Principality of Wales.
A wide variety of risks are found within our operational area ranging from the petro-chemical industries in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire and Briton Ferry, Neath, to the risks associated with heavily populated conurbations such as Swansea, Port Talbot and Llanelli.
There is an extensive farming community and many other light industries throughout the area. These, together with an extensive coastline and inland waterways are some of the specialised risks within the Mid and West Wales region.
The Service is organised into six County Commands, one each to cover the unitary authoritory areas of:
Carmarthenshire
Ceredigion
City and County of Swansea
Neath and Port Talbot
Pembrokeshire
Powys
The central Headquarters is located in Carmarthen whilst the Fire Safety Headquarters are sited at Morriston, Swansea.
The Service is comprised of a mixture of wholetime, day crewed, retained and volunteer stations, which number 57 in all. The current complement of staff, both operational and support, is approximately 1,400.
