The Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service is the statutory emergency fire and rescue service for the county of Gloucestershire, England. The service is run by Gloucestershire County Council.

Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue does not cover the unitary authority of South Gloucestershire which is covered by Avon Fire and Rescue Service.

Their headquarters are located at the TriService Emergency Centre in Quedgeley, near Gloucester. Also operating from there is Gloucestershire Constabulary and Great Western Ambulance Service.

As part of the FiReControl project, Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue's control room was planned to switch over to the regional control centre in Taunton. Originally scheduled to take place in January 2011, the cutover date was revised to September 2011,[1] however this plan was thrown into doubt in May 2010 when the government announced that fire services would not be forced to reorganise.[2][3]
