Dear Mr Maidstone
 
Thank you for your request for information received on 21 September 2020.
 
Please find attached our response to your request.
 
Please can you advise if the joint Surrey and West Sussex Fire & Rescue
Service control room use a call grading policy?

If so can you please provide full details of that policy. IE a persons
reported fire might be graded as a 'life risk' call and be giving a
grading of 1 within your command and control system and a bin alight might
be give a grade 4 etc.

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service do not use a grading system apart from
'critical and non-critical' incidents.  Appliances would be re-directed to
a life risk call and this decision would be made by the Officer in Charge
at the time of call.

We supply this information based on your original request. Please do not
hesitate to contact me at the address below if you have any queries
regarding the information enclosed. Remember to quote the reference number
above in any future communications.

If you are unhappy with the handling of your request for information and
wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, in the first
instance you should contact the County Council, quoting your request
number given above, at:
