In March 2004, we published our first Risk Management Plan (RMP) which outlined our intention to radically improve fire safety in Lancashire. Key to this ambition was a shift in emphasis from one based predominantly on emergency response, to a more complementary approach in which we would concentrate on preventing emergencies and/or mitigating the consequences should they occur.
The RMP process has seen us transform the way we deliver our services. As planned, the extent of our prevention and protection activities has dramatically increased year on year, whilst our emergency response capability has been refined and further improved. As a result, we can now evidence significant and sustained reductions in fire death, injury and fire loss, and genuine public safety improvements for the people of Lancashire.
Risk Management Planning is an ongoing process and we will continue to examine the way we operate to ensure the communities of Lancashire receive the best possible value for money service in terms of prevention, protection and response, whilst at the same time continuing to improve public safety.
