## What is the short version?



- **Funded locally and nationally:** English and Welsh fire authorities through council tax and the local government settlement; Scotland and Northern Ireland each have one national service.
- **Every service has a page:** its spending, incidents, response times (England), staff and stations, against its nation.
- **Response times are only published for England,** so they are never compared across nations.






## Over the longest run published: cash, real terms and per head




**Fire and rescue, United Kingdom: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ million**








Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator, 2025-26 prices. Breaks in the series: 2013-14: Scotland’s eight fire and rescue services merged into the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service on 1 April 2013. 2016-17: Dorset and Wiltshire fire and rescue services combined on 1 April 2016; statistics before then are added together for the combined area. 2017-18: Greater Manchester’s fire and rescue authority passed to the Greater Manchester mayor (May 2017), and London’s (the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority) to the Mayor of London (April 2018); both report their spending inside GMCA and the GLA. 2019-20: Northamptonshire’s fire and rescue service moved from the county council to the police, fire and crime commissioner (January 2019). 2021-22: Hampshire and the Isle of Wight fire services combined on 1 April 2021; earlier spending adds Hampshire’s fire authority and the Isle of Wight Council’s fire spending. 2023-24: Cumbria’s fire and rescue service moved from Cumbria County Council to the police, fire and crime commissioner on 1 April 2023, when the county was abolished. 2024-25: North Yorkshire’s fire and rescue service passed to the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority’s mayor in May 2024 and reports its spending there. 2025-26: Responsibility for fire statistics in England moved from the Home Office to MHCLG on 1 April 2025; the tables continue unchanged.

## Incidents and response




**Incidents attended per 1,000 residents**








Incidents attended divided by the mid-year population of the area the service covers (the sum of its local authorities), times 1,000. Worked out for England, Wales and Scotland, whose counts are made the same way; not for Northern Ireland, whose count is on its annual report’s own basis.

Which nations publish response times



- England

Published by service every quarter (MHCLG FIRE1001), from 1994-95.
- Wales

The Welsh Government’s fire and rescue incident statistics give the share of primary fires (and of dwelling fires) where the first vehicle arrived within 10 minutes of mobilisation, by authority, in the text; StatsWales has no response-time dataset.
- Scotland

Not in SFRS’s official statistics (Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics, Fire Safety and Organisational Statistics); SFRS reports local performance to each council, with no national response-time series.
- Northern Ireland

NIFRS reports the share of incidents reached within its attendance standards (SPI 9: 10 minutes in wholetime station areas, 20 minutes in on-call areas) in its annual report, not an average time.

The map loads as it scrolls into view. Every figure is also in the table below.




Incidents per 1,000 residents

Each nation is shaded against its own measure, on its own scale. The nations publish different figures, so colours cannot be compared across them.

**England, Wales and Scotland**: Incidents attended per 1,000 residents, 2025-26 and 2024-25

- Up to 8.2
- 8.2 to 9.4
- 9.4 to 10.4
- 10.4 to 12.2
- Over 12.2

England: **10.9 per 1,000 residents** · Scotland: **13.5 per 1,000 residents** · Wales: **11.9 per 1,000 residents**

**Northern Ireland**: Incidents mobilised to per 1,000 residents, 2024-25

- One area: its own figure, with nothing else in Northern Ireland to shade it against

Northern Ireland: **12.5 per 1,000 residents**

- No data





Tap or hover over an area, pick one in the table, or search by name or postcode, to see its figures here.





With a keyboard: tab to the map, then use the arrow keys to move between areas, Enter to pick one, and + or − to zoom.





The map covers the whole UK. Where the nations publish the same measure, they share one scale. Where they publish
different ones, each nation is shaded against its own measure on its own scale, named in its own part of the legend, and
the nations cannot be compared with each other. Where a nation publishes nothing for a measure, the map says so and links to
what it publishes instead. Pick an area for its figures and a link to its page.

What each measure counts



- Incidents per 1,000 residents

Incidents attended divided by the mid-year population of the area the service covers (the sum of its local authorities), times 1,000. Worked out for England, Wales and Scotland, whose counts are made the same way; not for Northern Ireland, whose count is on its annual report’s own basis.
- Average response time to primary fires

Mean time from the call being received to the first vehicle arriving, for primary fires (fires in buildings, vehicles and outdoor structures, or with a casualty or rescue, or attended by five or more appliances). England only (MHCLG FIRE1001, from the Incident Recording System). Wales publishes the share reached within 10 minutes of mobilisation (response-primary-wa) and Northern Ireland the share of all incidents reached within its standard (response-primary-ni); Scotland publishes no response times.
- Staff, full-time equivalent

All staff in post at 31 March (wholetime and on-call firefighters, fire control and support staff), full-time equivalent. England: FIRE1101; Wales: StatsWales; Scotland: SFRS, excluding volunteers. Northern Ireland: the average number employed in the year, from the annual accounts. On-call firefighters’ FTE is counted differently between the nations.
- Fire stations

Fire stations at 31 March (England FIRE1404; Wales StatsWales; Scotland SFRS; Northern Ireland annual report). Specialist urban search and rescue bases are not counted.







## What people say about it




### Is fire and rescue funded adequately?





### Those who say fire and rescue is underfunded and cuts have hurt



- Cuts to the emergency services will cost lives. It is a matter of time until someone dies. Steve Wright, general secretary, Fire Brigades Union ([21 August 2025](https://www.fbu.org.uk/news/2025/08/21/union-slams-disgraceful-wave-new-cuts-thousands-firefighter-jobs-could-face-axe))
- The unfair funding settlement could mean fire engines arriving at emergencies without enough crew to respond effectively and save lives, or, worse still, engines not leaving stations at all because there are no firefighters to staff them. Matt Vickers MP (Conservative), shadow minister for crime, policing and fire, House of Commons ([28 April 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-04-28/debates/A93D8CBB-BDD9-4AE3-97E3-0543B962B613/FireAndRescueServicesFunding)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches).
- Employees of Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service tell me that funding cuts have seen shift systems worsening; rope, water and animal rescue services being scaled back and watches usually running with around six firefighters instead of nine. Adam Dance MP (Liberal Democrat), House of Commons ([28 April 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-04-28/debates/A93D8CBB-BDD9-4AE3-97E3-0543B962B613/FireAndRescueServicesFunding)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches).





### Those who say productivity and reform are the main issue



- I am pleased to report that most services are now increasing their focus on improving productivity. But some services still need to better understand how they use their wholetime firefighters and take a more proactive approach to maximise efficiency. Sir Andy Cooke, HM Chief Inspector of Fire and Rescue Services, HMICFRS ([5 November 2025](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/690b191a9456634d9795fdcf/state-of-fire-and-rescue-2024-25.pdf)) State of Fire and Rescue 2024-25. The same report also says the Government should reconsider its position on capital funding for fire services.
- Funding is only one part of the picture. There is exciting work ahead of us. Samantha Dixon MP (Labour), Parliamentary Under-Secretary, MHCLG, House of Commons ([28 April 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-04-28/debates/A93D8CBB-BDD9-4AE3-97E3-0543B962B613/FireAndRescueServicesFunding)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches). Said after describing the ministerial advisory group's work on reforming the role of the firefighter, funding and governance. In the same speech she blamed past cuts for a 20% loss of firefighter capacity.

## What these figures do and don't show



- **Incidents are not only fires.** Fire and rescue services also attend road accidents, floods, other emergencies and false alarms; the figures say which is which.
- **Response times are published for England only.** Wales and Scotland publish none by service, and Northern Ireland reports against its own attendance standards, so no response time is compared across nations.
- **Nations count differently.** Each nation’s statistics define incidents, staff and deaths in their own way; figures are compared within a nation, and across nations only where the definitions match.
- **Nothing here shows cause and effect.** Money, staff, stations and incidents are shown side by side. A service covering a large rural area needs more stations for the same number of incidents.
- **Appliance counts stopped in 2021** in England; the last published figure is marked as such.
