LFRS’ approach to reducing risk • Integrated approach through prevention, protection & response • Outcome – to achieve measurable reductions in risk
INCIDENT TYPES • CRITICAL - Incidents that are likely to involve a significant threat to life, property or the environment (20% of total in typical year) • SECONDARY - Incidents that are unlikely to involve a significant threat to life property or the environment (80% of total in typical year)
CRITICAL FIRES - APPROACH • Production of Lancashire Fire Risk Map • Constructed around Lower Layer Super Output Areas (SOA’s) - 940 in Lancashire • Application of formula and risk score calculated for each SOA • Risk rated: Very High, High, Medium or Low with variable response times • Annual review and re-categorisation based on rolling three-year reference period
DETERMINING RISK AND RESPONSE LEVELS FOR EACH SOA, CALCULATION OF • Dwelling fire rate • Casualty rate* • Number of ‘other’ building fires • Index of multiple deprivation score* * Weighted scores
CONTEXT • Significant fall in activity/risk post 2006 • Economic climate – local and national • New CFA • Better use of resources/improved VfM • Investment in prevention/protection and other priority areas • Innovative approaches required
GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Resources reflective of risk - no ‘one size fits all’ • Greater value for money • Maintenance of service to the public
DCP – points to note • LFRS – a learning organisation • LFRS – a listening organisation • Engaging with • Staff • Representative bodies • Public
