Vital' fire safety checks fall

摘要

FIRE SAFETY checks in England have fallen by 42% in the last seven years, according to the HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS). BBC News reported on the statistics release from the new watchdog, which stated that while fire and rescue services (FRSs) 'do a good job in emergencies', cuts have reduced Vital' prevention work, with Avon Fire and Rescue Service rated as Inadequate' in its fire regulation work and 'promoting the right values and culture'. In response, the Home Office said that it wanted FRSs to take 'urgent action' where any failings had been found.
