Fire and resilience

Developing the Fire and Rescue Service

Communities and Local Government has put in place the legislative framework and introduced the relevant policies to underpin that legislation. The Fire and Rescue National Framework sets the priorities and objectives for the Fire and Rescue Service and a programme of improvement measures has been introduced and resources provided to support the Service.

Fire and Rescue Authorities (FRAs) are already implementing and delivering much of the improvement agenda locally and where appropriate, or required, regionally and nationally. Significant progress has been made and the department continues to work in partnership with its key stakeholders and through the overarching National Framework so that the Fire and Rescue Service will be able to not only effectively and efficiently deliver and sustain the fire and resilience improvement agenda but be able to respond to future challenges.

This section contains information on Integrated Risk Management Plans (IRMPs), the Fire Service Improvement Programme and the National Framework for the Fire and Rescue Service.
