The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives the public a wide-ranging right to see all kinds of information held by the Government and public authorities.

Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act obliges every public authority to adopt an approved Publication Scheme.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service publishes a selection of responses to requests made to us under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, these can be viewed on the FOI Disclosure Log.

Making a Request

Please note that in the interest of national security North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service do not publish or provide vehicle registration number plates and vehicle call signs.
