I have had a few messages from people asking what the point in the new call is, why fire crews responding later in the day would need a specific callout etc so I thought I would clear it up.
A late fire call is a low priority call to a fire that’s been extinguished before arrival so the response can be downgraded however it may still need investigation. It is a genuine call category that firefighters may receive as a turnout. You can see here from Shropshire Fire https://www.shropshirefire.gov.uk/incident-type/1414
We are trying to add a mix of smaller and larger missions to keep both sides of the argument happy
