Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service - Collaboration Across Thames Valley Blue Light Services Forward Plan Ref: 2015/037 Contact: Nathan Travis, Deputy Chief Fire Officer Tel: (01865) 855206 Report by Chief Fire Officer (CMDDL4). This report seeks Lead Cabinet
Member approval for the continued development of collaborative opportunities
with other Thames Valley Blue Light Services (Police, Fire & Ambulance), supporting
national guidance around inter (FRS-FRS) and intra (Blue Light) operability,
whilst at the same time, delivering increased public sector efficiencies. Specifically, this report highlights
two collaborative initiatives for approval: Firstly, a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) between the three Thames Valley
Fire & Rescue Services aimed at establishing a clear commitment by the
respective fire authority members to consider each other's services as
preferred collaborative partners from the outset. Secondly, the development of a separate MoU between the
three fire authorities and the Thames Valley Police & Crime
Commissioner regarding the sharing, primarily, of property assets. Both of these initiatives will build upon the knowledge gained and operational / governance frameworks developed by the Thames Valley Fire Control Service programme. The Cabinet Member is
RECOMMENDED to: (a) Approve the contents of the proposed MOU’s
and the collaborative Blue Light Services approach described in this report. (b) Sign the MOU’s on behalf of the Cabinet of
OCC and direct the Chief Fire Officer to continue with further collaboration Minutes: to: (a) Approve the contents of the proposed MOU’s
