Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service: Your Voice Matters in Shaping Our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP)

At Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS), we believe that the input of our community is invaluable in ensuring a safer future for everyone.

The CRMP is a comprehensive plan outlining LFRS's commitment to ensuring Safer People and Safer Places within our communities and workplaces. The plan focuses on identifying and mitigating foreseeable community-related risks and puts in place arrangements to respond to and deal with them. The CRMP will cover a 5-year period and will be developed through consultation, be accessible and cost-effective, and reviewed regularly.

Consultation Period:

The consultation period officially started on September 1, 2023, and is set to run until midnight on November 24, 2023. We value your perspective, and this is your chance to share your insights.

How to Participate:

The proposed strategies and details are outlined in our Community Risk Management Plan 2024-2028 document, which you can conveniently view and download from our website: www.leics-fire.gov.uk/crmp. The consultation will be advertised widely, as an integral part of encouraging local communities to participate.

The CRMP outlines our Service priorities and aims, with detailed departmental plans providing a roadmap for achieving our desired outcomes.
