Humberside Fire and Rescue Service has been recognized for its 'outstanding' efforts in fire prevention and response, according to a recent report by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS). The report highlights the service's use of data analysis to assess risks and tailor its services, as well as its effective response to major incidents.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service has received praise from a watchdog for its progress since its last inspection three years ago. The report, conducted by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services ( HMICFRS ), rated the brigade as 'outstanding' in both its understanding and prevention of fires.
Phil Shillito, Humberside's chief fire officer, expressed his 'delight' with the report, describing it as a 'testament' to the 'passion, dedication and professionalism' of the staff. Michelle Skeer, of HMICFRS, stated that it was 'pleasing to see the service has made progress' since 2020 and congratulated it for 'keeping people safe and secure'.'The service is also working well with local health organisations to provide an on-call falls response team, helping more people live in their homes for longer, reducing demand on other services,' she added. 'I commend them for the changes it has made and will keep in close contact to monitor progress,' she concluded. Phil Shillito, the county's chief fire officer, stated that the report highlighted 'sustained improvement'. The report indicated that the service had enhanced its performance through data analysis, enabling it to assess risks such as deliberate fires and tailor its services accordingly. Humberside Fire and Rescue was also commended for its effectiveness in responding to major incidents, fires, and emergencies, and its efficient utilization of resources. However, inspectors noted that the service was 'adequate' in promoting values and culture. Some staff expressed a lack of confidence in utilizing feedback systems, and leaders at senior and middle levels were deemed less visible. Mr. Shillito remarked: 'I have never been prouder of our remarkable fire and rescue service. We will continue to embrace new ideas to strengthen the trust the community places in us and overcome any challenges to ensure people's safety. 'While there is always room for improvement, we will build on this report's outcomes to keep our communities safe.'
