The inspections investigate how well the service performs in each of three areas. On a scale of outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate, West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service was rated as follows:

Fire stations edit
The service has 25 fire stations, which are operated according to the following crewing systems:
- Wholetime – full-time firefighters are at the station 24/7 and run on watches which change every 12 hours
- Retained – on-call retained firefighters are called to the station via pagers. Therefore, they are not always on station
- Day-crewed – full-time firefighters are in the station during the day but not the night
