Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority’s Publication Scheme
This document explains what we publish and how to access it.
Although information in each class is generally published, some documents will occasionally be exempt by law. Such information may be deleted/redacted from those documents before publication.
While the cost for the majority of requests is free, this depends on the amount of information requested and the time taken to retrieve it.
