Essex Fire & Rescue proposes daytime full-time crews at four stations to boost response times, consulting until Feb 22, 2026.
Essex Fire and Rescue is seeking public feedback on a plan to improve daytime fire engine availability at four stations by adding full-time crews during the day, when demand is high but on-call firefighter availability is low.
Currently, second engines are crewed only 1% to 7% of the time during daytime hours.
The proposal would maintain on-call staffing overnight and during peak periods, preserve the current number of engines, and support faster response times and greater service resilience.
The consultation runs until February 22, 2026, with input welcome online.
