Fire and Rescue Services: Voluntary Work
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the strategy for recruiting fire station volunteers.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
The government highly values the contribution of fire station volunteers, whose roles contribute to protecting their local communities.
Decisions on resourcing, including strategies for recruiting fire station volunteers, are a matter for individual Fire and Rescue Services, which are best placed to assess the requirements of local stations and the communities they serve.
