The viability of awarding firefighters for service beyond the existing 20 years is currently being investigated by my Department. There are processes which need to be followed prior to discussion with the Honours and Decorations Committee taking place but officials are progressing the issue and will be in touch with the Committee in due course.

The number of medals awarded to firefighters in each of the last five year are as follows:

2010 - 1,737
2011 - 1,465
2012 - 1,011
2013 - 1,246
2014 - 1,147

These figures do not include Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales
