Abstract

For the past 60 years provision for emergency fire fighting response (i.e., fire cover) in the United Kingdom has been based on the density of the built environment, with highly developed city centres receiving the most provision for (and fastest response to) emergency calls and progressively less provision and speed of response being made for town centres, suburban areas, and country areas, respectively. (No cover is provided for remote rural and sparsely populated areas, where calls for emergency service receive a response from emergency resources allocated to more built-up areas. Unlike in built-up areas, there are no standards specified for weight of response and attendance time that the fire service must meet in responding to emergency calls from remote rural and sparsely populated areas.)
