Question Asked:

We would like to know how many (a) wholetime firefighter, (b) retained firefighter, (c) fire control staff, (d) support staff and (e) total staff there were employed in your Fire and Rescue Service, measured by headcount, on 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2024.

We also request the (f) number of wholetime firefighters employed by your fire and rescue service as of 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2024 (headcount) that also work a retained contract, and therefore could be described as “wholetime-retained”.  To clarify, we only request the number of wholetime firefighters with an additional retained contract - we are not asking whether it is with your own or another fire and rescue service.
