The Fire Standards Board (FSB) is pleased to announce the re-publication of three key Fire Standards: Emergency Response Driving, Fire Investigation, and Community Risk Management Planning (CRMP), following a thorough and structured review process.
As part of the review, both the CRMP and Emergency Response Driving Fire Standards underwent public consultation due to the number and significance of proposed changes. In contrast, amendments to the Fire Investigation Standard were minimal and did not require a consultation phase.
A detailed summary of the updates to each Fire Standard is available on the “You Said, We Did” webpage. Additionally, each revised standard now includes direct links to the relevant HMICFRS Characteristics of Good Performance, ensuring clearer alignment with sector expectations.
To support fire and rescue services with implementation, guidance and resources are available from the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) Implementation Team. For further information or support, please contact [email protected].
The Fire Standards Board extends its sincere thanks to everyone who contributed their expertise and feedback during the review process. Your support continues to help shape and strengthen the future of fire standards across the UK
