Have your say on your fire and rescue service

We are encouraging our communities to have their say on our next four-year plan. The Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) is a document all fire and rescue services are required to produce which details their priorities and their approach to ensuring local communities are protected.

A draft version of the CRMP has been produced and a survey invites people to give us their views. Those who complete the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher. Consultation will take place over a 12-week period and will end on Bonfire Night, 5 November.

Chief Fire Officer, Rob Barber said: “This is your opportunity to help shape the future of your local fire and rescue service. It’s really important that we get views from a range of different people to ensure our plan reflects the needs of local communities. We have a vision of making Staffordshire the safest place to be and the input from our staff, local residents and businesses is crucial to allow us to work towards that vision.”

The plan proposes three overarching priorities of our people, our communities and our environment.

Our people priority focuses on developing a diverse, healthy and highly professional workforce.

Our communities priority focuses on how we reduce the risks to our local communities from fire and other emergencies through a combination of our prevention, protection and response activities.

Our environment priority looks at reducing our carbon footprint and building more resilient, healthy and sustainable local communities.

Following the consultation, the responses will be reviewed and will feed into a final plan which will be launched on 1 January 2025.
