Mid and West Wales Fire Authority comprises 25 Councillors from the Constituent Authorities of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, City and County of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Powys.
Members are appointed by the Constituent Authorities from amongst their own membership having regard both to the relative numbers of electors in the individual constituent authorities' areas and also to the requirement of political proportionality across the combined area.
The Fire Authority's role is to deliver proactive and reactive fire and rescue services to the people of Mid and West Wales in an open, transparent and cost-effective way; acting in the best interests of Mid and West Wales and its citizens as a whole.
