Report by Chief Fire Officer (CA7).

This paper reports on the progress that we have made in the initial 365ALIVE Vision and requests a Cabinet decision to set a new vision for the next 6 years allowing us to align our vision with our longer term Intergrated Risk Management Cycle.

The Cabinet are RECOMMENDED to:

(a)  note the completion and success of the current Vision from 2006 – 2016;

(b)adopt the renewed 365alive vision with outcome based targets measures linked to  a new six-year cycle (2016 to 2022) in order to align it with the Service’s new Strategic Community Risk Management Plan); and

(c)  require the Chief Fire Officer to regularly report on the performance of the service against the vision outcomes.

Recommendations agreed.

Cabinet considered a report on the progress made in the initial 365ALIVE Vision and that sought approval to set a new vision for the next 6 years allowing OFRS to align its vision with the longer term Integrated Risk Management Cycle.

Councillor Christie, Opposition Deputy Leader congratulated officers on the completion of the original target and their achievements. He endorsed the future actions and thanked the OFRS for their work at the recent incident at Didcot and during the floods.

Councillor Rose in introducing the contents of the report commented on the value of good stretching targets. It was a good example of why OFRS should remain embedded in the County Council.

Simon Furlong, Assistant Chief Fire Officer referred to two corrections to the figures on page 53 of the agenda pack. The target for saving society and the taxpayers money should read £1,000,000 and the target for making people safer was 840,000.

Cabinet commended the report and the work of OFRS.

RESOLVED:             to:

(a)  note the completion and success of the current Vision from 2006 – 2016;

(b)  adopt the renewed 365alive vision with outcome based targets measures linked to  a new six-year cycle (2016 to 2022) in order to align it with the Service’s new Strategic Community Risk Management Plan); and

(c)    require the Chief Fire Officer to regularly report on the performance of the service against the vision outcomes.
