Fire brigade employees; professional and voluntary, ranks, region 2000-2019
Description
This table includes information on the number of employees of municipal and regional fire brigades and security regions on 1 January of the reference year. Operational staff are broken down by professional and voluntary status. Since 2005, non-operational fire brigade employees are also included. Operational staff is broken down by rank and non-operational staff by education level. The figures refer to the situation on 1 January of a particular year. Data are available for the Netherlands as a whole and for each security region.
Since January 1, 2011, figures may vary from previous years due to introduction of a new ranking system and a revised questionnaire. Since that date, the questionnaire can be completed consistent with the new ranking system as published in “Decree Personnel Security Regions” (for details see: Official Gazette 2010, nr 253). The “Leidraad Conversion Ranges of the Dutch Association for Fire Protection and Disaster Control (NVBR)” is used for the translation from function to rank and from the old to the new ranking system.
Since 2012, higher and mid-level ranks are included in one category. This decision was made because a reliable break-down by region cannot be made.
Since January 1, 2011, the definitions of professional, voluntary and non-operational staff are also adjusted.
The security regions Limburg Noord en Brabant-Zuidoost could not deliver data of 2019 before the closing date of the survey.They agreed that the figures for 2018 are also valid for 2019.
The security regions Kennemerland and Haaglanden have indicated that for 2019 they have reported data with a higher quality than before. They agreed that the figures for 2019 are retroactively also valid for 2018.
Data available from: 2000.
Status of the figures:
Figures for the period 2000-2018 are definitive and figures for the year 2019 are provisional.
