'Clear improvements' have been made at Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and bosses say crews have 'worked tirelessly to improve in the areas that it needed to'. The fire service has been given an overall rating of 'good' by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).
Services across three areas were looked at between September and November last year to assess how efficient and effective they are. The fire service has been found to be ‘good’ in all areas, with HMICFRS saying 'clear improvements’ have been made since the last inspection in 2018/19, in which the service was said to ‘require improvement’ in certain areas.
Chair of the Fire Authority, Councillor Michael Payne, said the latest inspection report represented a "well-deserved outcome for the service". He said: “I’m so proud that we have a fire and rescue service which is effective, efficient, and has amazing people working for it to make our communities safer.
