Question to the Home Office:
What assessment he has made of the effect of changes in the number of firefighters on fire service capacity to respond to emergency calls.
This question was answered on 25th February 2019
Recent data show that the average total response time to primary fires has remained the same as last year, and for secondary fires has increased by 1 second since last year.
Total response times have risen gradually since 1994 but are now starting to stabilise.
Fire and rescue services have the resources they need to do their important work.
