2022/23 in focus
Launch of our new CRMP
In April 2022 we launched our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP), which outlines our ambition for the Service and explains how we will deliver our services to you over the next three years.
‘Good’ HMICFRS Inspection
In July 2022 we received our latest HMICFRS inspection report. HMICFRS rated us as ‘Good’ in all eleven areas of inspection and stated that ‘clear improvements’ had been made since our last inspection.
New Website
This year we launched our brand-new website. The website is more secure and boasts more modern features which have helped to make it one of the most accessible fire and rescue service websites in the country.
Firefighter Apprenticeship Provision
Ofsted conducted a full inspection of our wholetime firefighter apprenticeship programme and awarded us an overall rating of ‘Good’.
New Incident Command Training Facility
A new facility designed to provide training for our incident commanders was opened at Mansfield Fire Station. The facility exposes incident commanders to simulated scenarios to test decision-making in a controlled environment.
Leading with Pride
In July we had the honour of leading the Pride parade through the streets of Nottingham. A fire engine, accompanied by staff members and their families showed support for the LGBT+ community at the first event since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted.
New Fire Station for Worksop
The official opening of Worksop Fire Station took place in May. The new state-of-the art station has been built with the latest renewable technology and has the ability to self-generate up to 50% of its energy consumption.
999 Calling Made More Accessible for the Deaf Community
A new service has been launched to make 999 calling more accessible for people who use British Sign Language (BSL). 999 BSL connects users to interpreters remotely through the 999 BSL app on their phone or via the 999 BSL website.
Our Longest Ever Incident
On the 6th August, we responded to a call of an industrial fire in Ranskill.
The fire which involved thousands of used vehicle tyres turned into Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue’s longest-ever incident.
Along with our colleagues from Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire, we were at the scene for a total of 35 days.
