Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) fire incidents, (b) rescues and (c) total incidents firefighters in Nottinghamshire have attended in each year since 2010.

In 2019/20 Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Authority will receive £41.8 million in core spending power, an increase of 2.2 percent compared with 2018/19. Details of Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Authority Spending Power and the contribution from Formula Grant or Settlement Funding Assessment since 2010 can be found online at: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20090506010526/http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/0910/grant.htm

Since 2010 there have been changes to the finance and function of local government, therefore spending power, Formula Grant and Settlement Funding Assessment are not directly comparable over this period.

The Home Office published the latest statistics on incidents attended by fire and rescue services in 2017/18 on 9 May 2019, which lists the number of fire incidents, rescues and total incidents firefighters in Nottinghamshire have attended in each year since 2010/11. The number of fires, rescue incidents, flood incidents and other emergency incidents attended by Nottinghamshire FRS in each year are shown in the table below:

¹ Includes rescue or evacuation from water, lift release, other rescue / release of persons

² Includes all other non-fire incidents and fire false alarms
