From 1 January 2005, under the Act, any individual, organisation or company can make a request for information about Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service to Cumbria County Council.  You will have the right to be informed in writing as to whether the council holds the requested information and to have that information supplied within 20 working days subject to some exemptions.

The council is already open with its information and you may be able to find the information you need yourself through the council's Publication Scheme, e-library or elsewhere on our website.
