North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Zoë Metcalfe is in Scarborough today to hear views on proposed changes to fire and rescue services.
The Commissioner will be outside the Brunswick Shopping Centre between 10am and 4pm. to update residents on the new North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Risk and Resource Model and discuss what it means for the community.
Commissioner Metcalfe is considering proposals for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service’s new Risk and Resource Model 2022-2025, which sets out how the Service would seek to deploy its people, equipment, and resources. These proposals are based on an extensive risk assessment across North Yorkshire and York, which has identified the likelihood and severity of fires, road traffic collisions, water related incidents, and other emergencies.
In Scarborough the proposed changes would see the town's tactical response fire engine be replaced by a more capable engine, but that would only be crewed during the day when the fire service says most incidents occur.
Commissioner Zoë said:
“It’s my job to set the direction of North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service and therefore consider the proposals and make a decision.
“Before I do that, I want to know what the public think and I encourage people to come along to one of my roadshow consultation events this summer to speak with myself or a member of my team, and to complete the online questionnaire.”
The Commissioner is also encouraging people to share their views online by completing the consultation at https://www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/rrm/
