FOIA Schedule I includes:
- 14 - A fire and rescue authority constituted by a scheme under section 2 of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 or a scheme to which section 4 of that Act applies
Section 2 of the Act allows the Secretary of State by order to make a scheme constituting a fire and rescue authority for the combined area of two or more existing fire and rescue authorities. One such scheme seems to have been made:
Section 4 of the Act applies to schemes made under sections 5 and 6 of the 1947 c. 41({{#formlink:form=Legislation|link text=add|query string=Legislation[Type]=ukpga&Legislation[Year]=1947&Legislation[Number]=41}}). Such schemes have been made by the following orders:

- SI 1997/2702: Shropshire and Wrekin Fire Authority
- SI 1997/2760: Lancashire Combined Fire Authority
- SI 1997/2761: Nottinghamshire and city of Nottingham Fire Authority
In areas not covered by a combined authority, the fire and rescue authority is determined by section 1 of the 2004 Act:
- In England:
- a non-metropolitan county council (England) is the fire and rescue authority for the county; (Cornwall, Cumbria, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Isle of Wight, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Northumberland, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Warwickshire, West Sussex)
- a non-metropolitan district council (England) for an area for which there is no county council is the fire and rescue authority for the area;
- the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority is the fire and rescue authority for Greater London;
- a metropolitan county fire and civil defence authority is the fire and rescue authority for the county;
- the Council of the Isles of Scilly is the fire and rescue authority for the Isles of Scilly.
- In Wales:
- a county council is the fire and rescue authority for the county;
- a county borough council is the fire and rescue authority for the county borough.
All of these are subject to the Act by virtue of other entries in Schedule I.
