1. Main facts and figures
- as at 31 March 2017, 96.1% of firefighters in England for whom ethnicity was known were White, and 3.9% were from the Asian, Black, Mixed and Other (including Chinese) ethnic groups combined
- from 2011 to 2017, the total number of firefighters decreased from 43,360 to 35,620 – this decrease was seen in every ethnic group except the Mixed ethnicity group
- in the same period, the percentage of all fire and rescue services staff (including firefighters, fire control and support staff) from the Asian, Black, Mixed and Other (including Chinese) ethnic groups combined increased slightly, from 4.1% in 2011 to 4.5% in 2017
- in the 2011 Census, 85.1% of the working age population in England (people aged 16 to 64 years) was White, 8.4% was Asian, 3.6% was Black, 1.8% had Mixed ethnicity, and 1.1% was from the Other ethnic group
Things you need to know
The percentages shown here are based on fire and rescue services staff whose ethnicity was known.
In 2017, ethnicity wasn’t known for 11.3% of staff overall. By role, ethnicity wasn’t known for 11.4% of firefighters (4,048 staff), 8.5% of fire control staff (95 staff), and 11.5% of support staff (879 staff).
Numbers of staff with unknown ethnicity are included in the tables for reference.
The numbers and percentages shown here are based on a headcount – the total number of fire and rescue services staff, regardless of whether they worked part-time or full-time. Full-time equivalent (FTE) staff figures can be found on the Fire statistics data tables, although they are not broken down by ethnicity.
‘On-call’ firefighters (also known as ‘retained’ firefighters) may have more than one contract of employment. In this case, they will be counted more than once in the workforce statistics.
Data is taken from the personnel records for the 45 fire and rescue services in England. Population estimates are based on the 2011 Census (the latest available figures).
You should treat the comparison between workforce and population figures with caution, because:
- the ethnicity categories used in the 2011 Census differ slightly from those used in the fire and rescue staff data – in particular, the Chinese ethnic group is included in the Asian group of ethnicities in the Census data, and in the ‘Other’ group in the fire and rescue staff data
- the areas served by each fire and rescue service do not exactly match the geographical areas covered by Census data presented
- it is likely that there have been some population changes since 2011 that aren't accounted for in the Census data
What the data measures
The data shows the number of staff working in fire and rescue services in England, and the percentage of the workforce from each ethnic group. The figures are based on a snapshot taken at 31 March each year.
Firefighters in this data include:
- ‘wholetime’ firefighters – full-time firefighters of all ranks, including non-operational staff, flexible duty officers and recruits in training
- on-call firefighters (also known as ‘retained’ firefighters) – these firefighters, who may have other full-time work, respond when needed during their ‘on call’ hours, and are trained to deal with fires, road traffic incidents, hazardous materials and floods, and fire safety work
Fire control staff answer emergency calls and mobilise the response by firefighters.
Support staff work in administrative roles, clerical support, analytical support, finance, vehicle maintenance and property management.
The ethnic categories used in this data
Ethnicity data for staff working for the fire and rescue services in England is taken from staff records which use the following categories:
- Asian or Asian British
- Black or Black British
- Chinese
- Mixed
- White British or Irish
- any other white background
- any other minority ethnic background
- ethnic origin not stated
For the purposes of this data, these categories have been grouped into the following broad ethnic categories from the 2001 Census:
- Asian/Asian British
- Black/African/Caribbean/Black British
- Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups
- White
- Other ethnic group (including Chinese)
