Final Response:
1. How much do you charge for sending one of your resources into a neighbouring county and therefore another FRS area?
We charge LFB £328 per callout. We charge Herts £322 per callout. We haven’t charged any other services recently but their charges would be commensurate with this. There will be an uplift for inflation in line with pay increases.
