Norfolk Fire Service Faces Scrutiny Over Terror Attack Preparedness
What happened
His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) issued a report on the Norfolk service. While the service was rated good in eight of ten areas, inspectors found that some staff had not received training on marauding terrorist attacks (MTAs) and lacked a consistent understanding of joint operating principles.

Why it matters
The findings indicate that staff may not be sufficiently prepared to respond effectively to an MTA incident. This public safety audit places regulatory and funding pressure on Norfolk County Council.
