The Fire and Rescue National Framework

The Government is responsible for setting clear priorities and objectives for the fire and rescue service. The Fire and Rescue National Framework does this by making clear:

• the Government's expectations for the fire and rescue service
• what fire and rescue authorities are expected to do
• what support Government will provide.

The Government's fire target for England was set on 1 April 2005 as follows: By 2010, to reduce the number of accidental fire-related deaths in the home by 20 per cent and the number of deliberate fires by 10 per cent.

The National Framework is a strategic plan outlining how this target and other objectives are to be delivered.
