Does anyone know which Fire and Rescue Service have adopted the CFOA Policy for the Reduction of False Alarms and Unwanted Fire Signals?

I asked Norfolk today and they said 'not yet'

Far as I knew the policy hasn't been officially rubber stamped yet...... The NSI witdrew it from their website a couple of months ago.... not aware they've put it back yet......

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

The policy was launched in Liverpool recently and as stated above the policy is available on the CFOA website.

The problem I believe with the policy is that its a "one size fits all" policy, it will have an effect on brigades that have gone further with UWFS policies than the CFOA policy will go, IMHO.
