Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service

Integrated Risk Management Plan 2008-2011

 The integrated Risk management Plan (IRMP) is a document that the Fire & Rescue Service has to produce. It gives details on how the service plans to improve public safety, reduce the number of  emergency incidents and save lives.
Last year the Fire & Rescue produced a three-year document which gave them more scope to plan for the future and set targets to improve services. This document was consulted on with residents in  January 2008.
We'd like to continue this consultation with you to make sure that you still agree with the targets and actions we have outlined in the document. It will also help us when we are publicising the services we provide for you.
