IRMP Consultation 2011 - 2012
Aims: Fire Authority urges residents to have their say
Residents in Herefordshire and Worcestershire are being urged to have their say on the way the Fire Service is set to run.
At a meeting held on Friday 25 June, Members of Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Authority formally approved the Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) 2011/12 for consultation.
The IRMP action plan for 2011/12 sets out a broad range of priorities for Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service and a 12-week consultation period is now open to gauge opinions on the seven key recommendations outlined in the document.
These include:
- A review during 2011/12 of the impact of the recent changes in Technical Fire Safety arrangements to ensure that the anticipated benefits are being fully realised.
- A review of the allocation of community safety resources to ensure the best fit of activities to risk. This will maximise our ability to reduce risk in our communities.
- Reducing our attendance at Automatic Fire Alarms (AFAs) through a review of our policies and procedures and the implementation of our findings.
- A review of our fire cover and response arrangements with a focus on:
- The requirement for a third appliance at Hereford, Worcester and Redditch.
- The current crewing arrangements at Bromsgrove.
- The appropriate number of personnel on each watch at wholetime and day crewed stations.
- Ensuring that our Property Strategy is fully aligned to our IRMP proposals including Recommendation No. 4 and other aspects of Service Delivery, such as the provision of effective operational training.
- We will consider our current operational training strategy and provision to identify any potential for improvement in both effectiveness and efficiency, and implement any appropriate changes.
