The Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 gives the UK fire services the ability to call upon other services or fire authorities in what is known as mutual assistance . For example , the LFB played a comprehensive role in assisting Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service at the Buncefield fire in 2005 . Much earlier , the Hampton Court fire of 1986 , which was on the border with Surrey , was attended by both the LFB and Surrey Fire and Rescue Service
