The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has launched an online survey as they consider future changes to the emergency service. There are issues that must be addressed with the ageing estate while ensuring that they are best placed to meet the changing community risk across Scotland.
There are areas they think could change which would allow them to use resources differently. This could include changes to where our firefighters and stations are based; how and when they staff their resources; and how and when they respond to emergency incidents.
The survey – titled Shaping Our Future Service: Your Say – is open until 30 June 2024 and marks the first stage in their engagement with communities, staff, representative bodies, partners and elected members. The views they gather during this process will help them to develop change options for full public consultation later this year.
