to prevention, protection and response accordingly.</p><p>In addition, each fire and
rescue authority has a statutory requirement to have mutual assistance arrangements
in place to provide additional support including during major fires and other emergencies,
and to review and test their arrangements.</p><p>Local mutual assistance arrangements
are augmented by national resilience capabilities available from across the country.</p>
