The Fire Services Act 1951[1] (14 & 15 Geo. 6. c. 27) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which extended only to Great Britain.

The act amended parts of the Fire Services Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo. 6. c. 41) which dealt with the Firemen's Pension Scheme; it did not directly concern fire-fighting or the organisation of fire brigades in Great Britain.

Subsequent developments

The whole act was repealed by section 54 of, and schedule 2 to, the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, which came into force on 1 October 2004 in England and Scotland and 10 November 2004 in Wales.[2]
