While the original act did not contain an "Extent" section, the preamble and text addressed Great Britain (and parts thereof) only. England and Wales The Fire Services Act 1947 was entirely repealed in England and Wales by the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, now the primary legislation for England and Wales. Scotland The Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 extended only to England and Wales, thus leaving the Fire Services Act 1947 in force in Scotland. Most of the 1947 Act was later repealed by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, which left ss. 26 to 27A (concerning the Firemen's Pension Scheme) still in force in Scotland. Northern Ireland The act does not extend to Northern Ireland. ==See also==
