Fire Pensions

Firemen's pensions have a long history - dating back to before 1925. In those days provisions for the pensions of firemen were contained either in local Acts or in the Police Pensions Act of 1921 as at that time some policemen were employed either wholly or partly as firefighters!

There have been many changes to the pension scheme since those early days and the current scheme is contained in a document known as "The Firemen's Pension Scheme Order 1992". Although published in 1992 there have been a number of improvements and changes to the scheme since that time.

Please note that we only administer the Fire Pension Scheme for officers who serve/served in Grampian Fire & Rescue Service and Grampian Fire Brigade.

If you are or have belonged to any other UK Fire Authority then you should contact them for further information. Use the FBU link below to find out details of your Fire Authority.
