Minutes:
The Group considered a report highlighting the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s (SFRS) FQ2 review of local performance across Helensburgh and Lomond for the period 2021-22.
James Sullivan provided an overview of the statistics outlined in the report, and confirmed that there had been a slight increase in overall incidents. He advised that 94 Home Fire Safety Visits (HFSVs) had been carried out over this period, and SFRS were providing presentations on fire safety for use in schools, despite being unable to attend in person. He also noted that SFRS were represented on the MARAC for supporting those affected by domestic violence, and were involved in a partnership approach to water safety.
James advised that new smoke detector legislation would be coming into place in February 2022, and guidance around this was available from all fire safety premises.
Decision
The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Community Planning Group considered and noted the information provided.
