We operate from 27 fire stations, which vary in status from being staffed 24/7, 365 days a year, to being completely on-call, where firefighters are available day and night and are alerted to emergencies by a pager. The Service's headquarters is located in Huntingdon, with the chief officer team, combined fire control room and many of our support staff being based there.

We are accountable to the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fire Authority and our responsibilities as an emergency service are set out in the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 and the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.
