There are two main committees of the Fire Authority. The Community Safety and Protection, and Policy and Resources Committees have decision making powers.

The Fire Authority also has a Scrutiny Committee and an Audit Committee which meet regularly.

Panels have no meeting dates set at the AGM. They meet on an ad-hoc basis whenever there is a need. These tend to be convened to look in detail at particular issues or to consider information of a confidential nature; and therefore, do not tend to be open to the public. The Member Development & Engagement Group meets virtually twice a year.
