IRMP 5 YEAR PLAN Review of Officers recommendations. IRMP Working Party. ACFO Des Tidbury 7 August 2006 IRMP 5 YEAR PLAN • Local standards for Dwelling Fires and Road Traffic Collisions (RTC’s) agreed by CFA. RESPONSE STANDARDS • DWELLING FIRES The Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is committed to achieving an optimum response standard of 8 minutes for the first appliance and 10 minutes for the second appliance for dwelling fires. The Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is committed to a standard response of 10 minutes for the first appliance and 12 minutes for the second appliance for dwelling fires. The higher risk localities where it is predicted that appliances will not reach dwelling fires within the standard response be prioritised for community safety initiatives to drive down the risk. ROAD TRAFFIC COLLISIONS • The Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is committed to making an initial attendance to road traffic collisions, with the necessary resources to commence extrication of casualties, within 11 minutes. IRMP 5 YEAR PLAN • In addition, the CFA agreed to the redeployment of the Incident Command Unit (ICU) from Windsor to Maidenhead and to crew the appliance with Retained Duty System Crews from Maidenhead and Cookham. IRMP 5 YEAR PLAN • That the following recommendations require further detailed work to be conducted. • The outcomes of which to be brought back to the Executive Committee, a special meeting to be convened if required, and subsequently to a full Fire Authority, prior to public consultation. • That no decisions would be made prior to the further detailed work being concluded. • That the final decisions would be taken by the full Fire Authority. IRMP 5 YEAR PLAN • Following strategies will result in efficiency savings that can be re-invested to improve RBFRS performance against the standards set for dwelling fires and RTC’s. • Improve performance within existing budget (Doing more with the same). IRMP 5 YEAR PLAN: KEY STRATEGIES • • • • • • Cookham Sonning and Wargrave Windsor Wokingham Crowthorne and Camberley Dee Road and Caversham Road Resolutions from CFA: 28 June 2006 • Endorsed that Sonning Fire Station is closed with the crew being offered opportunities for re-deployment in preference to redundancy. • Endorsed that work be progressed to secure a site for a new fire station at Twyford in readiness to transfer the unit from Wargrave to this preferred location. • Endorsed (as amended) that future arrangements for operational response in the Windsor area be explored so that the Authority continue its permanent presence in Windsor, and that Officers be tasked to provide revised proposals that do not include the removal of fire station facilities from Windsor. Resolutions from CFA: 28 June 2006 • Endorsed that Dee Road fire station is closed with the pump being moved to Caversham Road (crewing with 5 or 4 depending on role). • Endorsed that efficiency savings be utilised to achieve either two 7-crewed shifts giving cover for 12 hours per day backed up by retained duty system firefighters, or full 24-hour shift cover at Wokingham. • Endorsed that a trial is commenced to utilise Camberley’s two 24-hour crewed pumps in the Crowthorne area.

In conjunction with this work, and following proper risk assessments, a decision will be made as to the category of incidents that this appliance will respond to.
