Situated near the River Mersey, the three main sites of Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service are situated in close proximity.

The Merseyside area is serviced by the motorways: M6, M56, M53, M62, M57 and M58. To the south of Liverpool is Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the local area has a rail network and bus services (see Merseytravel website). For travel between the Wirral and Liverpool there are two tunnels, an underground rail system and a ferry service.

Turn off M6 at junction 26 and join the M58 to its starting point in Maghull.

From the South

Take the M62 east bound until junction 6 and join M57 north (Maghull, Southport).

For journeys between the Wirral peninsula and Liverpool there are two tunnels; the Kingsway or 'Wallasey' tunnel and the Queensway or 'Birkenhead' tunnel (this runs between the city centres of Birkenhead and Liverpool). Additionally there are ferry services operated by Merseyside Passenger Transport and an underground rail service operated by Merseyrail (details at Merseytravel website).
