The important reason Lancashire Fire & Rescue service wants 5 minutes of your time
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service has this week launched a consultation, asking members of the public to help shape how it operates in the next five years.
Running from now until 5pm on Sunday, March 15, the consultation invites residents, businesses, partners and stakeholders to share their views on what matters most to them, and how the service should deliver prevention, protection and response services across the area from 2027 to 2032.
This insight will help the Service understand the needs and expectations of the people who live and work in Lancashire and will inform the development of the draft Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) which is the blueprint that sets out how the Service keeps communities safe.
Deputy Chief Fire Officer Steve Healey said: “The environment we operate in is constantly changing, and new risks to our communities continue to emerge. It’s our job to ensure we are equipped to meet these challenges by adapting our services and skills to prevent, protect and respond effectively.
“At this stage, we are not proposing any changes. Instead, we want to understand what is important to people and gather views on the services we provide.
“The feedback we receive will help shape our draft CRMP and will also inform potential options for how our services may be delivered in the future. These options will be explored in more detail during phase two of the consultation in summer/autumn 2026.”
