Response
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue aims to provide an efficient and effective emergency response to all fires and other emergencies across Lincolnshire.
We achieve this by having competent staff with the appropriate skills and equipment and by working with partners to protect the public from the effects of incidents.
We value our staff, and we organise systems of work, provide personal protective equipment and deliver training to maintain their safety when responding to incidents.
Our staff are committed to continual improvement, and we take every opportunity to learn from operational incidents, share our findings with the fire sector and other partners to implement agreed improvements and identify and act on opportunities for continuous improvement.
Funding has been secured for 2024/25 to allow us to maintain our successful co-responding model. Our work on co-responding was highlighted in our most recent inspection report as promising practice and we will continue to work with our partners to secure the future of this highly successful activity.
The Assured Level of Response model that enables us to ensure that resources are available in the areas of highest risk was also praised by inspectors. Overall, the Service received a good rating for responding to emergencies and major incidents. We will build on this strong platform to improve further, and address areas for improvement in other areas.
