The way South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Authority meetings are held has changed.

The Authority’s meetings are now being hosted by South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, having been hosted by Barnsley Council for many years.

Public meetings are usually held at the fire service’s headquarters on 197 Eyre Street, Sheffield. Dates, time and locations of all meetings are published in advance of the meetings on a new website here

Public meeting dates, agendas and papers are also now available via the same website.

We also intend to live stream meetings in the future. We’ll be providing details on how you can watch these live, or view a recording, soon.

The website where the Authority’s meetings and agendas used to be hosted will stay live until October 2025 and can be found here: South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority is a statutory body made up of 12 local councillors from the district councils of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield.

The primary responsibilities of the authority are laid down in legislation, including the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and Local Government Act 1999.
