At last night’s Isle of Wight Executive committee, members voted unamimously in favour of a move of the Island’s fire control function from Surrey Fire and Rescue Service to Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service from April 2017.
Call handling and moblisation
The fire control function relates to call handling and the mobilisation of fire resources for operational incidents on the Island via the 999 call centre.
The existing five year contract between the Island’s fire and rescue service and its Surrey counterpart expires on 31 March 2017.
