Consultation on proposals to improve Oxfordshire’s Fire and Rescue Service

14th November 2025

Oxfordshire County Council are asking for your views on proposed changes to how they respond to emergencies, ensuring that they have more fire engines consistently available and to overall enable them to get to incidents across Oxfordshire more quickly than they can now.

This public consultation seeks your views on a range of proposals designed to: 

  • Match resources to risk, based on an understanding of where incidents are most likely to happen across Oxfordshire to ensure that the right level of cover is available in those areas.
  • Improve community safety, with the service continuing to conduct prevention and protection work, but reshaped and enhanced to meet the changing needs of Oxfordshire’s communities.  
  • Futureproof the service by reviewing how it operates, which will help in making informed decisions that ensure long-term sustainability and resilience.
