Strategic goal 3: We will respond immediately and effectively to emergency incidents

This goal focuses on our statutory duty to respond to emergencies.

Our key objectives for this year are:

• The Service will review its resourcing to risk with particular focus on the fire cover in the Ashfield area, following the findings of the Fire Cover Review in 2022.
• Deliver training and revalidation to maintain the skills and competence of operational staff
• Respond to incidents within an average time of eight minutes
• Work collaboratively with regional partners to improve the effectiveness of our response to incidents

Our focus for improvements this year are:

• Work towards the replacement of our mobilising system in partnership with our colleagues in Joint Fire Control and Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service
• Continue to invest in new fire appliances and specialist vehicles, bringing three new appliances into service this year
• Review our mobile technology to improve access to information for our Crews, including providing additional mobile radio capability to improve communications at incidents
