Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue consultation

Last year, crews responded to an average of 16 false alarms every day due to automatic fire alarms, placing an unnecessary burden on the Service’s resources and their ability to be ready and available for genuine emergencies.

In the last five years, there have been more than 55,000 automatic fire alarms alerts, out of which just 42 needed the hose reel jet from a fire engines, which is less than 0.08%

The Service is looking at how to reduce the number of automatic fire alarms attended to make the Service more efficient, and make sure firefighters are able to respond to genuine emergencies

More detailed information about the consultation, and a link to a public survey for feedback, is available on the website www.dsfire.gov.uk/about-us/AFA-consultation. There will also be opportunities to question and answer events.

They want to make absolutely clear to communities that any change is only in response to an automatic alert and they will always attend if someone has reported a sign of fire

They will also always attend single domestic properties, such as houses, or where there is a known night-time sleeping risk

There are also a number of high-risk buildings where a response will be maintained. Details of these can be found in the consultation document
