Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Community Risk Management Plan

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue develops a Community Risk Management Plan every four years. Work has started on the next CRMP which will be published in April 2024. The plan weighs up the biggest risks to people, places and the environment and explains how resources will be used to reduce those risks and keep people in Lincolnshire safe.

Data is used to understand the risks, but what you tell us is vital. This first stage will help us understand more about what you see as the main risks.

The CRMP engagement survey is about identifying what people in Lincolnshire think are the greatest fire risks to them and is open for responses until 2pm on Wednesday 7thDecember 2022.You can find more information, and the opportunity to participate here:
