| The Home Secretary has unveiled a programme of reform for fire & rescue services that promises to be as radical & ambitious as that delivered in policing since 2010. Speaking at an event hosted by Reform, Theresa May praised the achievements of F&RS, whose fire prevention work has contributed to a fall in the number of fires in England of two-thirds in the last 15 years, while the number of fire deaths has almost halved during the same period. She also outlined the scale of the challenge still facing F&RS and underlined the need for reform. |
