Fire and Rescue Authorities are required to produce a medium term plan that sets out the ways in which it will identify and deal with local risks and challenges.  We published our current three year IRMP Supplement in April 2015. 

This IRMP 2017-20 meets the Authority’s statutory responsibility, but more importantly outlines how we will best use our resources to respond to emergencies and reduce the risks facing our communities.

Our IRMP 2017-20 is produced against a backdrop of financial challenge that extends back to 2004.  By 2020 the Fire and Rescue Authority will have to make savings of around £11 million.  This presents the Authority with significant challenges as it seeks to minimise the impact of these cuts on our levels of service to the public.

A key priority will be to protect our frontline services by changing the way in which we deliver emergency response, whilst realising our Mission to create:

Safer, stronger communities -
Safe, effective firefighters

The risk profile of Merseyside is changing, with an increasing older population more vulnerable to experiencing a fire in their home. Despite a general reduction in incidents in recent years, increases in flooding presents a different set of risks for our communities, whilst road traffic collisions and other emergencies continue to provide challenges for our fire crews and our communities. In recent years the Service has begun to respond to emergency medical incidents with the Ambulance Service and in common with the whole country, the risk from terrorism has increased.  

Full details of how we propose to deal with the challenges we face are available in our IRMP.
