Agenda item

It was noted that arrangements were in place within the old Best Value (BV) Family Group 4 to compile comparative data in respect of the two (now withdrawn) National Fire Indicators that related specifically to fire authorities.  

Data was provided for the six components that made up the two National Indicators in respect of: the position of each Fire and Rescue Service within the Family Group, 2015/16 – 2016/17 comparative progress/decline; percentage change in terms of actual numbers; the position of each F&RS within the comparative group for the respective indicator and a summary overview in graphical form.

Members examined each indicator in turn and noted Lancashire’s position.

National Indicator 33 – Number of deliberate (i) primary and (ii) secondary fires per 10,000 population.

NI 33 – Arson Incidents (deliberate fires) per 10,000 population

NI 33i Deliberate primary fires per 10,000 population

NI 33ii Deliberate secondary fires per 10,000 population

National Indicator 49 – Number of primary fires and related fatalities and non?fatal casualties (excluding precautionary checkups) per 100,000 population.
