This unique text fills a major gap in the emergency services
literature by surveying the research on fire and rescue service
management in the UK. An extensive evidence base focuses on
organizational culture, leadership skills, standards, and
accountability, emphasizing the services' dual roles as first
responders and guardians of public safety and prevention. The
implications for international public health and safety programs
are made clear as the services' recent history illustrates the
complex challenges typical of functioning within local and national
political contexts. Chapters take on a broad range of management,
leadership, service delivery, and staffing concerns, including: *
Evolution and adaptation of fire and rescue services during periods
of expansion and austerity. * Civil protection as a local and
national priority. * Structural issues: assessments and
improvements, collaborations with other services. * Emerging social
concerns: diversity, gender equality, the aging worker population.
* The concepts and consequences of heroes and heroism. * Future
directions for governance, transparency, and accountability. Fire
and Rescue Services complements the earlier volumes in the
Leadership & Management of Emergency Services series with equal
parts realism and vision. It should interest a wide audience of
public policymakers, public managers, and emergency service
personnel, as well as academics and researchers.
