Developing our 2028-2032 Community Risk Management Plan

Developing our 2028-2032 Community Risk Management Plan

The 2027/2028 financial year is the final year of Cheshire Fire Authority’s 2024-2028 Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP). The CRMP is a four-year strategy that sets out how Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service will improve effectiveness, address key fire and emergency risks, and keep communities safe. It focuses on increasing prevention and protection activity while delivering a more effective emergency response across the county.

Next year the Authority will begin developing its next CRMP, which will cover the four years from 2028 to 2032.

Ahead of this, the Authority is undertaking work to better understand:

The current risks across Cheshire

Public perception of key fire and rescue risks

Where the public and stakeholders believe we should prioritise our activity

What the public and stakeholders expect from their fire and rescue service

This work will help to inform the development of the draft CRMP for 2028 to 2032. Once formalised, the draft plan will be subject to wider public consultation, which is expected to take place in Autumn 2027.
