We will continue to work closely with our partners in Argyll & Bute to ensure that through targetting risks at a local level we are all "Working Together for a Safer Scotland." The plan has been developed to complement key partnership activity embedded across Argyll & Bute's Community Plan and associatedDelivery and Thematic plans. Through partnership working we will seek to deliver continuous improvement in our performance and effective service delivery in our area of operations. The Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Argyll & Bute identified six areas for demand reduction and is subject to regular monitoring and reporting through the Police & Fire and Rescue Committee. A summary of the priorities and current activity is detailed below with further detail and analysis contained within this performance report.
