Humberside Fire and Rescue Praised for Fire Prevention Skills

Humberside Fire and Rescue got a great review. It was about how they handle fires and risks. Inspectors checked them out last October. The review gave two “Outstanding” ratings. These were for understanding and preventing fires. They also got eight “Good” ratings. One rating was only “Adequate.”

The fire chief, Phil Shillito, is very proud. He said this shows the staff’s dedication. They give the best service to the Humber region. The community is at the heart of their work. People can trust them to respond fast. They manage resources well during emergencies.

The fire chief is happy with the inspection results. The results prove they improved steadily. They listened to feedback and made changes. These changes make the Humber region safer. Staff work as a team to ensure safety. Their passion is truly inspiring.

Councillor Nigel Sherwood chairs the Fire Authority. He said the outcome shows hard work. The service consistently performs at a high level. The report reinforces that Humberside Fire is vital. They serve communities and businesses in the region. They’re committed to improving services.

Michelle Skeer is an inspector of fire services. She congratulated Humberside Fire and Rescue. They keep people safe from fire and other risks. She appreciates how staff engaged well. She saw progress since the last inspection happened.

The service excels at understanding and preventing fires. They find risk areas easily. They know about new issues and changes that affect risk. They work with health groups to help people. This helps people stay home longer. It also reduces demand on services.

However, some areas need work. Staff still need to feel better about feedback systems. Leaders could be more visible. The service is changing right now. This has been affecting some work areas. But, the inspector commends the service’s changes. She will monitor their progress.
