Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) has improved in multiple areas, a government watchdog has found.

The results of the recent His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) 2025-27 inspection ranked the force in ten areas and found noticeable improvement from the previous inspection in 2023.

WFRS is now rated 'good' or 'adequate' in all areas.

"I am pleased with the performance of Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service in keeping people safe and secure from fire and other risks," the inspector's report said.

"The service has made progress against all the areas for improvement we found in our last inspection.

"We have closed 21 of 26 existing areas for improvement and haven't identified any in this inspection.

"This is thanks to the work of dedicated staff at all levels, effective internal governance and the service's monitoring processes.

"We also recognise that, at the time of our inspection, the service was implementing service-wide changes. Known as Resourcing to Risk, these changes address issues that other fire services are also experiencing."

Chief Fire Officer, Ben Brook, said: "We welcome the results from the recent HMICFRS report, both positive and areas for improvement, they reflect the significant improvements made across the service and the dedication of our people throughout Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service.

"This is all part of our journey of continuous improvement. We will be fully considering all aspects of the report, and this is an opportunity to build on our strengths, address areas for improvement with purpose, and keep the service moving forward."
