Suffolk Fire and Rescue performance

We use internal fire station and health and safety audits to make sure we meet our legal requirements and organisational policies. Your complaints and feedback are also used to judge our performance.

Information, data and statistics

We use various data sources to measure our performance. We've explained what they are and where you can find them below, so you can see how we are doing for yourself.

Speed of response

This measures how long we take to respond to 999 calls. It is measured from when our firefighters are first alerted of an incident up to the time when they arrive there.

You can find national statistics on response times by fire and rescue services in England and the severity of fires on GOV.UK.
