The Humberside Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) acknowledges and welcomes the recommendations in the latest report by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS). The report highlighted concerning incidents of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic behaviour within a quarter of the 44 fire and rescue services in England. Such behaviours, often excused as harmless banter, are unacceptable and have no place within the fire and rescue service.
