Jacob Rickett of law firm Browne Jacobson examines the impact of new driving regulations for fire and rescue servicesIn This Section:
“The academic arguments are interesting, but to include holiday cottages in the enforcement process will not focus resources for fire prevention on those premises which present the greatest risk, it will do the opposite. It will not maximise benefits in terms of the efficient use of Fire Service resources, it will be a waste of such resources.”
Dr Mike Dennett responds to Professor Rosemary Everton’s article in the August issue on the impact of the Fire Safety Order on holiday cottages (pg 40)
“In all the time we have been running the course, less that four of our cadets have re-offended. It is simple mathematics.”

“The service are delighted with the results of this project, which has indeed given a step change in efficiency... the model now plays a key role in the service’s development strategy, ensuring an evidence-based approach to all key decision-making.”
Jo Jones on Merseyside’s process simulation (pg 44)
“Where the regulations may come into play however, is where firefighters, especially retained but also potentially whole time firefighters, hold second jobs which entail driving duties. Where this is the case, rest periods must be adhered to, and must not be interrupted by other work. As such, the new rules will apply even if firefighters only drive for a few hours per day in their other job.”Jacob Rickett, Browne Jacobson, on the impact of new driving regulations on the FRS (pg 51)
