We are committed to maintaining our high levels of performance across the service.

We provide comprehensive performance data to managers across the service and to external stakeholders. On a regular basis, middle and senior managers review a performance tracker and address any areas of underperformance.

Incident data

The summary below illustrates incident levels attended over the last five years.

Total incidents attended

The summary below illustrates incident levels attended over the last five years.

The total number of incidents that we attended last year was 4398, which is less than the previous year. The reduction in attended incidents is due to the comparison to 2022 where we experienced a high volume of incidents due to weather related conditions (e.g. Heatwave and flooding).

Total attended incidents 2019 - 2024

The incident level for previous years are as follows:

  • 2019/20 - 3,842 total attended incidents
  • 2020/21 - 3,473 total attended incidents
  • 2021/22 - 3644 total attended incidents
  • 2022/23 - 4,540 total attended incidents
  • 2023/24 - 4,398 total attended incidents

Benchmarking

The Government collects data on all fire services and then provides comparison tables of data. We use this information to benchmark performance against key measures.

We are currently preparing our 2023/24 Performance Benchmarking Report, which compares our performance to the other 44 English FRSs.
