Every year, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service ask local residents and businesses to take part in their annual precept survey. The 5-minute form asks how people feel about the service they receive, and will influence the amount the Service receives from council tax in 2026/27.  The survey can be found here:

It is anticipated that by 2026/'27, a saving of £4.8million will be needed due to reductions in government funding and rising costs of delivering services such as materials, energy and employment costs.  The Service receives part of its funding from council tax, known as the precept, and business rates. The current council tax charge from the fire and rescue service is £104.68 a year for a Band D household.
