How we keep you safe

All Fire Services follow the Fire and rescue national framework for England.

Our purpose: Protecting the community and making Warwickshire a safer place to live.

Functional areas

Our focus is clear: that we will always prioritise the delivery of our statutory duties by reducing risk and vulnerability within Warwickshire through Prevention, Protection and Response activities. As a part of Warwickshire County Council and working with partners we will continuously improve our overall performance to be the best we can be. 

Customer service: Area Manager Paul Morley Ensures we provide a suitable and sufficient response to the public. It includes Operational Response, Prevention, Fire Protection and Fire Control. 

Continuous improvement and change: Area Managers Steve Langhor and Sally Waldron oversee the Fire Continuous Improvement and Change programmes, assess the impact of any Government, regional or local changes on the service and ensure that projects and developments are resourced in line with our service priorities. This area includes:

  • Operational planning
  • Technical and transport
  • HMICFRS
  • Integrated Risk Management Plan
  • People Plan
  • Business continuity

Business support: Support is received for Human Resource, Finance, ICT, Communications, Performance and Planning as part of an arrangement with the Resources Group of Warwickshire County Council to enable the service to deliver its objectives and priorities.

Service delivery

Service delivery makes sure we provide suitable and sufficient response to the community, and that our firefighters have the best training, equipment and knowledge of their local risks.

Service support

Services support includes training and development, health and safety, operational planning, technical support and transport. All assist in the assurance that what we do is in line with national, regional and local policies.
