How the service is organised

Emergency response, prevention and regulation

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service responds to fires and other emergencies, works to prevent incidents and enforces fire-safety law for most premises in its area. Its governance is Surrey County Council fire and rescue authority.

The service’s community risk plan connects resources and prevention activity to local risks. It does not replace the duties held by employers, owners, landlords and other responsible persons.

Different functions

What the fire service does—and what remains yours

Enforcement, operational response and a premises fire risk assessment are different functions.

01

Emergency response

Control receives calls and mobilises resources according to the incident and operational information.

02

Prevention

Home and community safety activity aims to reduce incidents and harm before emergencies occur.

03

Protection and enforcement

Business-safety teams can audit premises, investigate concerns and use Fire Safety Order powers.

04

Your FRA duty

The responsible person must still ensure a suitable assessment is completed, recorded, acted on and reviewed.

Open data and local context

Use incident figures without turning them into a league table

Our Surrey resources connect county data, annual district incident totals, response and prevention context across all 11 authorities.

Raw totals reflect population, buildings, roads, land use, weather and reporting. They cannot determine whether an individual premises is safe.
