Humberside fire and rescue service was formed in
1974 as a result of the newGovernment laws stating that all areas must have an official fire service. Prior to1995 , the fire and rescue service was under the control ofHumberside County Council , however later that year, the county council was abolished and management was then handed over to Humberside Fire authority, as it remains today.
