HMICFRS Inspection

All fire and rescue services are subject to inspection from His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).

The aims of the inspection programme are to encourage improvement in the fire sector and to provide the public with accessible information about how their local service is performing.

This year we received the report from our latest inspection, which took place in Spring 2024. HMICFRS rated us as ‘Good’ in 10 out of 11 areas.

Our next inspection is expected to take place in 2026.
