Local Fire and Rescue Plans

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) invites you to share your views on the draft Local Fire and Rescue Plan for your local authority area.  Local Plans set out how they will work to keep people safe in your community over the coming years, based on the specific risks and needs in your local authority area.

They outline:

  • The key risks and challenges facing local communities
  • Our priorities for prevention, protection and emergency response
  • How we will work with partners to improve safety outcomes for everyone

Your feedback is important and will help ensure the Plan reflects local priorities, concerns and opportunities.

SFRS are particularly interested in your views on whether they have:

  • Identified the right priorities
  • Focused on the areas that will make the biggest difference
  • Reflected the needs of your community

The results of this consultation will be used to inform the final version of the Plan, and the Fire Service will publish a summary of what they hear, including how feedback has shaped their approach.

You can provide your comments here.  The consultation will close on 15 October 2026.
