The West Midlands Fire Service UK ISAR members provide the Command Support function during all deployments. This includes the operational command and coordination in the field and hosting the UK-based incident room, which coordinates with and supports all deploying services, the National Fire Chiefs Council, FCDO and the deployed team.
The West Midlands team has a long history of deployments and capacity-building projects, which date back to the ground-breaking deployment of the British fire and rescue service to Northern Iraq in 1991. Since then, its members have deployed to Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, Haiti, New Zealand, Japan, and Nepal.
