Written question asked by Lord Soames of Fletching (Conservative) on Wednesday, 5 July 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 10 July 2017 (named day). It was answered by Nick Hurd (Conservative) on Monday, 10 July 2017 on behalf of the Home Office.


Fire and Rescue Services: Vehicles

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many firefighting-rescue platforms that can ascend to 90 metres in height are in service with fire services (a) in London and (b) elsewhere.

Answer

The Home Office does not collect information to this level of detail.

The latest published information on numbers of firefighting rescue platforms can be found in Table 1403 of the “Fire and rescue authorities: operational statistics bulletin for England 2015 to 2016” available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fire-statistics-data-tables, but the category ‘Aerials (inc. pump/aerial combined)’ does not give a breakdown of the working height of the appliance.

Data for 2017 will be published later in the year.
