The New Dynamics of Accountability in Fire and Rescue Services offers a timely and critical examination of how governance reforms have reshaped accountability within one of the most under-researched emergency services. While accountability has become a central theme in public service discourse, its interpretation varies widely across contexts. This timely work addresses a significant gap in the literature by focusing on the fire and rescue sector, which has often been overshadowed by studies on police accountability. Through an in-depth analysis of the UK Government's Policing and Crime Act 2017, author Katarzyna Lakoma explores the introduction of new governance models--most notably the role of Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners (PFCCs)--and the establishment of His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services, alongside a renewed emphasis on cross-service collaboration.
