4.2 Structure of the SYFR
Geographical area of operation
SYFR provides emergency fire and rescue services to the whole of South Yorkshire, which covers an area of approximately 600 square miles. South Yorkshire has a population of almost 1.3 million across the 4 metropolitan districts of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. Currently we deliver our services from within four district management areas that have coterminous boundaries with the local district councils. Due to its size and complexity, Sheffield District is further sub-divided into East and West Districts. We have 23 fire stations located within the districts, which we support from our Headquarters in Eyre Street, Sheffield. 18 of these stations are wholetime (staffed 24 hours) and 5 are retained (staff on call).
