In November 2018 Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Service (HMICFRS) inspected West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (WSFRS). The report was published on 20th June 2019. The report judges the service to require improvement in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency and to be inadequate in relation to people.
WSFRS has developed an improvement plan to respond to the recommendations of the report and to ensure the Council can provide residents and communities with confidence in its actions.
