The Local Fire and Rescue Service Plan has been developed to set out the priorities and objectives withinArgyll & Bute and allows
our local authority partners to scrutinise the performance outcomes of these priorities. We will continue to work closely with our
partners in Argyll& Buteto 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 Argylland Bute'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 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.
