To give you an insight into how we work within your area. A District Command team led by the District Commander is responsible for the delivery of an efficient and effective service for the Wakefield community.
We are pleased with the significant reductions in all incident types over the past year and our performance indicators are very positive; we met our three-year targets in all areas. We are proud of our achievements, but will not be complacent, we will continue to reduce the most serious and impactful issues for our community.
Our ambition is to “Make Wakefield District Safer” and the team will work in collaboration to understand the challenges and changing risks that face our communities and those most vulnerable within our society.
Through our Operational Risk Visit and Building Risk Review programmes we will promote and enforce the fire safety measures required by law to ensure that buildings and occupants are protected. These programmes will also generate risk information to help keep our firefighters safe.
We will ensure that our firefighters are highly trained, and are ready to respond to fires and other emergencies in an effective and professional manner. Health and Wellbeing of all our staff will be integral to our priorities. In addition, we will ensure that we are resilient when responding to major incidents within the district by sharing operational risk information and response plans with neighbouring districts and other fire and rescue services.
