Integrated Risk Management Planning
The future of the fire service meets it's biggest challenge yet with the concept of IRMP's now a reality
The combined fire Authority from November 2003 will be completely responsible in the eyes of the law for the setting and maintaining of standards of emergency cover for the two counties.
With the removal of the 'National Standard' for emergency cover the CFA has to risk assess its area of responsibility and decide where to place its resources. We wish them luck and offer them our whole hearted support.
