URGENT ACTION NEEDED TO ASSESS RISK INFORMATION

- By JAMES ROBINSON

NORTHUMBERLAND Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) has been told to take urgent action after failures were uncovered by the fire inspectorate.

His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) has issued an "accelerated cause of concern" following an inspection.

These are issued when "a fire service's failures raise concerns about public safety". The inspectorate said this was the case with NFRS.

It is another blow for the fire service after a troubled year in 2025 which saw the chief and deputy leave their posts after a damning report identified a "culture of fear" at the organisation.

The inspectorate found that NFRS does not "effectively gather and record site-specific risk information (SSRI) to protect firefighters and the public".

SSRI is detailed, pre-planned data for high-risk premises which is used to inform firefighter tactics and is vital for helping protect firefighters, the public and property during an emergency.
