Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service is a public safety organization based in Washington, North East England. It serves 1.104 million residents across five councils—Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland—and operates under a Fire Authority that is legally required to publish annual performance indicators. Beyond responding to emergencies, the service carries out home fire risk assessments, visits to schools, and provides fire-safety guidance to businesses. It supports children and young people through programs such as the Young Firefighters Association, the Prince's Trust, and the Phoenix Project, and it emphasizes partnerships with communities and other agencies. In 2026, it launched water-safety videos for Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities in collaboration with Northern Counties School.
