Central Fire Station

Central Fire Station in Belfast serves as the Eastern Area Headquarters of the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS), providing emergency cover for the greater Belfast area and supporting community safety across a population of around 494,000. As part of NIFRS, the station operates within an organisation that delivers fire and rescue services across Northern Ireland, responding to fires, road traffic collisions and specialist rescue incidents including flooding, chemical incidents and collapsed buildings. The station’s location and contact details are published on the NIFRS site (6 Bankmore Street, Belfast, BT7 1AQ), and the service runs community engagement and public safety activities such as open days and demonstrations of specialist teams and rescue techniques. NIFRS provides practical prevention services and guidance relevant to businesses and households, including home fire safety checks and business fire safety information that outlines responsibilities under Fire Safety Law and the need for fire risk assessments. This on-site material positions Central Fire Station as an operational hub for emergency response, community safety outreach and compliance-oriented fire safety advice within the Eastern Area.
