Fire and Rescue Services: Relevant to fire and rescue services

In our 2025-27 inspections, we will measure fire and rescue services (FRSs) against our characteristics of good performance. These characteristics describe the levels of performance FRSs need to achieve to be graded ‘good’. They help us to make consistent assessments across all FRSs, and also show FRSs what they are being graded against.
