Risks
The Fire Service Emergency Cover Software (FSEC) Map [pdf, 486K, opens in new tab] provides a graphically breakdown of the Risks for this Station Area.
An explanation of how to use this Map is available on the FSEC Map Cover Note [pdf, 203K, opens in new tab].
The Fire Service Emergency Cover Software combines the following information to determine our "Planned Response".
- Risk to Life.
- Risk to the Built and Natural environment.
- The 2001 Census.
- Demographic people profiles.
- Information from the road network.
The Planned Response will consist of a combination of :
- Prevention - Fire Safety Education,outreach and intervention.
- Protection - Educate and promote fire safety.
- Response - Reactive Emergency actions.
The Risks are classified into five levels listed below:
- Red - Very High Risk Areas
- Orange - High Risk Areas
- Yellow - Medium Risk Areas
- Blue - Low Risk Areas
- Green - Very Low Risk Areas
The areas of risk are mapped out to include a set number of households and this often results in detailed risk catchments for inner City areas and larger risk catchments where houses are adjacent to open/rural spaces.
Station Safety Plan
Each Station Area has its own particular mix of risks and problems and tools such as FSEC help to identify and quantify these Risks.
This results in specific aims and objectives per station which are incorporated into the Station Action Plan.
The Station Action Plan highlights performance over the last year and the borough targets to which this station contributes for this year.
