After a period of public consultation, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue published its first Integrated Risk Management Plan in 2004. This was produced as a requirement of the Government's White Paper 'Your Fire and Rescue Service' which set out the modernisation requirements for UK Fire Brigades.
This has subsequently been updated to a National Framework Document, which directs all Fire Authorities to issue and maintain an IRMP and publish and consult on an Action Plan on an annual basis.
Planning Fire Cover for the Future
For the first time in over 50 years the method of planning fire cover, which influences the number, type and location of fire stations, fire appliances and firefighters, has changed. The new system of Integrated Risk Management Planning came into effect on 1 April 2004.
This was due to instructions from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) which was responsible for the Country's Fire Services at that time, the aim of this change being to ensure more effective use of Fire Service resources and, ultimately, increased Community Safety. The ODPM has since been replaced by Communities and Local Government (CLG).
The Service's Integrated Risk Management Strategy can be viewed here.
