The Local Fire and Rescue Service Plan has been developed to set out the priorities and objectives within West
Dunbartonshire and allows our local authority partners to scrutinise the performance outcomes of these priorities.             
We will continue to work closely with our partners in West Dunbartonshire to ensure we are all “Working Together for a
Safer Scotland” through targeting risks to our communities at a local level.
The plan has been developed to complement key partnership activity embedded across West Dunbartonshire`sCommunity
Plan and associated Delivery 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 West Dunbartonshireidentified 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.
