FREEDOM OF INFORMATION – APPLICATION REFERENCE 2017/46

Thank you for your application under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 ("the Act") in relation to fire safety officers within Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.

The request is:

How many full time-equivalent fire safety officers have been employed by the FRS for each FY since 2006/2007? (if figures are not available this far back, I would request data from the earliest year available)

I originally requested the number of full time-equivalent fire safety officers have been employed by the FRS for each FY since 2006/2007

I realise now that the term "fire safety officer" was ambiguous and I would like to clarify my request:

I would like to have the numbers for each role within the Fire Safety Department, including, but not limited to, for example:

Business Fire Safety
Watch Manager
Fire Safety Inspecting Officer
Crew Manager
Community Fire Safety
Rural Outreach CFS Advocate
Fire Safety Tech Officer
Youth Worker

Where possible, I would like the figures broken down into each specific role for each year specified.

The response is:

We can only supply current figures:

Business Fire Safety
Watch Manager / Community Preparedness - 3, Public Safety - 6
Fire Safety Inspecting Officer / 9
Crew Manager / 0
Community Fire Safety
Rural Outreach CFS Advocate / 25
Fire Safety Tech Officer / 2
Youth Worker / BTEC Youth Advocate 1
