Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service covers 208 square miles, bordering County Durham in the south and Northumberland to the north.

ONS data shows that over 1.1 million people live here, spread across five districts:

• Gateshead
• Newcastle
• North Tyneside
• South Tyneside
• Sunderland

We work closely with these councils, as well as the other emergency services that serve the North East.
