Service Objective 4

  • We will develop a system which will provide up to date incident information to crews at fire stations, enabling them to target their plans according to their local risks.
  • We will review our new planning and prioritisation process to ensure that it is delivering the benefits that we intended.
  • We will implement Project Matrix, the County Council’s improved financial management system.
  • We will work with the County’s Securing the Future programme to ensure that benefits are realised and performance continues to improve.
  • We will review the provision of external support and look at opportunities to generate efficiencies or reduce costs.
  • We will ensure that the procurement of fire engines, property and equipment is carried out sensitively to reduce carbon emissions. This will contribute to our continued commitment to improving our environmental performance through the County’s Environmental Action Plan.
  • We will review property management arrangements and opportunities to generate efficiencies or reduce costs. This will include implementing our PFI project after final Government approval. We will also take this opportunity to refurbish our fire stations and to develop proposals for a new training centre.
