Biographical history
The London Fire and Civil Defence Authority (LFCDA) took over the responsibility of managing and operating London's fire brigade from the Greater London Council (GLC) in April 1986. Its members were drawn from the various London boroughs and other tiers of London government, with the aim to set strategy for the provision of fire services in Greater London, including ensuring that fire-fighters were well trained and well equipped, providing advice on fire prevention and running the London civil defence emergency control centres.
In July 2000 the LFCDA was reconstituted as the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, accountable to the Mayor.
