Known issues
Visitors to the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters often face limited parking availability. It is recommended to use alternative parking locations such as Agecroft Fire Station or Henry Boddingtons Hotel car park. Public transport is a convenient option, with bus number 8 providing direct access. To avoid frustration, consider planning your visit during off-peak hours. If calling, try to avoid early mornings and late afternoons, as these times may be busier. Ensuring you have all necessary documents and information ready before your call can also help streamline the process.
