Fire and Rescue Service Circulars: January to June 2006

Communities and Local Government issues regular communications to all chief fire officers, chairs and clerks of fire and rescue authorities electronically in a standard circular template. This helps to ensure that messages conveyed to the fire and rescue service are clear and consistent. 

This page contains circulars issued between January and June 2006, and is updated frequently. Previous years' circulars are available via the links on the right.

Alternative formats under Disability Discrimination Act (DDA): if you require this circular in an alternative format (eg Braille or audio) please email alternativeformats@communities.gsi.gov.uk quoting the title and circular number/date issued of the circular, and your address and telephone number.

Note: Many of the publications on this page were issued by our former department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). ODPM became Communities and Local Government on 5 May 2006 - all references in the text to ODPM now refer to Communities and Local Government.
