Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service's (GMFRS) first Fire Plan outlines the work the service will undertake to help make the city-region safe. The plan includes six priorities and a number of commitments to residents, businesses and partners across Greater Manchester.The plan has been written by Chief Fire Officer Dave Russel; Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham; and Deputy Mayor for Policing, Crime, Criminal Justice and Fire, Bev Hughes.CFO Dave Russel took on the role of CFO in September 2020 after previously working as Deputy Chief Fire Officer for Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Plan is one of the first major milestones for the new CFO, who will also launch an Annual Delivery Plan for the service - Our Plan -which outlines exactly how the commitments in the Fire Plan will be delivered. Together, the two plans fulfil the service's statutory duty to produce an integrated risk management plan.CFO Dave Russel said: "Greater Manchester's first Fire Plan aims to build on the fantastic work already undertaken by GMFRS, thanks to the professionalism and dedication of everyone who works for our service, while looking at how we can do things differently, and better, in the future."We continue to face a number of pressures and the last year has been incredibly challenging due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Ongoing financial uncertainties are likely to negatively impact the funds we receive locally and nationally - meaning that we will need to work hard to deliver services as efficiently as possible.
