Administrative History
Central Area Fire Brigade was formed in 1947 when the Fire Services Act, 1947, restored responsibility for fire brigades to local authorities after the wartime National Fire Service. Under this legislation, joint arrangements were possible and therefore Stirling, Clackmannan and Dunbartonshire set up a joint fire brigade.

Central Region Fire Brigade was formed as a result of Local Government reform on the 16th May, 1975 from part of the former Central Area Fire Brigade, part of the South Eastern Area Fire Brigade and part of Perth and Kinross Fire Brigade. In 1996 the name was changed to Central Scotland Fire Brigade without changes in boundaries. On 17th September 2004 the Brigade changed its name to Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service.

The Service covers the areas of Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling Councils an area of 2,652 Square Kilometres with a population of 281,600. The Service is governed by the Central Scotland Fire Board Fire Authority which consists of eleven members, three from Stirling Council, six from Falkirk Council and two from Clackmannanshire Council. The motto is "Protecting the Heart of Scotland"
