Seasonal Community Safety Calendar 2016 21 2 INTRODUCTION This performance report provides information on our prevention, protection and operational response activities within Na H-Eileanan an Iar over the periods Quarters 2 and 3 2016-2017, (1 July – 31 December 2016). The Scottish Government provides an overarching vision for public services. This vision is supported by 16 National Outcomes which demonstrate commitment to creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable growth. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) can make a significant contribution to improving these outcomes in Na H-Eileanan an Iar by contributing to the Community Planning arrangements. The national priorities for the SFRS are set out in the Fire and Rescue Framework for Scotland 2016. The SFRS Strategic Plan 2016-2019 outlines how the SFRS will deliver against these priorities and the outcomes against which this delivery can be measured. The priorities contained within the Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Na H-Eileanan an Iar 2014-2017 reflects the Outer Hebrides Community Planning Partnership Plan including the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) 2014 – 17. The SOA will this year be superseded by a Local Outcome Improvement Plan (LOIP) which will be reflected in an updated SFRS Local Plan. The SOA includes a range of key themes focused on delivering improved outcomes for the communities of Na H-Eileanan an Iar. The aims of the local Fire and Rescue Service in Na H-Eileanan an Iar are to reduce deaths, injuries and damage to property from fires and other emergency events. We aim to achieve this by working in partnership, being pro-active and targeting our prevention and protection activities to where they are most required, based on evidence. Within the Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Na H-Eileanan an Iar 2014 - 2017, 9 priorities for the local Fire and Rescue Service have been identified; Priority 1. Local Risk Management and Preparedness Priority 2. Reduction of Accidental Dwelling Fires Priority 3. Reduction in Fire Casualties and Fatalities Priority 4. Reduction of Deliberate Fire Setting Priority 5. Reduction of Fires in Non-Domestic Property Priority 6. Reduction in Casualties from Non Fire Emergencies Priority 7. Reduction of Unwanted Fire Alarm Signals Priority 8. Enhance our contribution to community planning Priority 9. Enhance our local engagement practice 3 Performance Summary Scorecard We measure how well we are meeting our priorities using 6 key indicators, depicted below Apr to (& incl.)

The lower half of each bar indicates the average day-time availability of a fire appliance from 6am to 6pm across the month. The upper half of each bar indicates the average night-time availability of a fire appliance from 6 pm to 6am across the month. Blue portions of a bar indicate the percentage of time when a fire appliance was operationally available, red portions when operationally unavailable. The primary factor affecting appliance availability remains staffing. Low staffing numbers means that it takes only 1 or 2 members to be unavailable through primary employment, leave or sickness to fundamentally affect the availability of the stations’ appliance. To ensure that safe systems of work are in place, SFRS policy stipulates that a minimum of 4 suitably qualified personnel must crew an appliance before it can be considered available, this number includes the Officer in Charge who will have completed a minimum of Incident Command Level 1 training. In addition the Gartan FSi electronic availability system is designed around specific criteria, specifying that a qualified Officer in Charge is available, a trained Emergency driver is available, qualified BA wearers are available in minimum numbers, all of which ‘overlays’ the minimum number of personnel to crew the vehicle (4). In simple terms the ‘system’ interrogates the available personnel automatically and designates the appliance on or off ‘the run’ which is then reflected in the availability figures shown. So, for example, a given station may have 8 personnel available but no Officer in Charge (OIC) with the latest minimum Incident command qualification, and the electronic system would declare this applicant unavailable. Should this appliance be required in the event of an emergency, Operations Control would analyse the situation and alert crews despite the electronic systems status. No incidents have failed to elicit an attendance where a minimum of 4 personnel are available. During this reporting period, 7 new firefighters were commencing their Fire and Rescue duties on Lochmaddy, Valtos, Shawbost, South Lochs and Port of Ness Fire Stations. Port of Ness has benefitted by the addition of 2 experienced HIAL Airport firefighters as a direct result of closer ties between HIAL and the SFRS. Fire Appliance Availability – July 2016 5 Fire Appliance Availability – August 2016 Fire Appliance Availability – September 2016 Fire Appliance Availability – October 2016 6 Fire Appliance Availability – November 2016 Fire Appliance Availability – December 2016 7 Fire Station Staffing & Recruitment In 2015 SFRS launched a new model for recruitment which was anticipated would streamline the entire recruitment process and therefore significant benefits to station availability and staffing. For 2017 a revised recruitment programme is underway, specifically tailored to reflect the geography of the islands and to further enhance the recruitment process. For example, interviews are undertaken on stations applied for, and physical tests are also planned for south and north of the area in response to local feedback. Our intention is to run a flexible recruitment process that is controlled by local officers and culminates in a Task and Task Management (initial course) held at the shortly to be completed Stornoway Training Facility and SFRS Airport Training Centre. Local Officers have engaged with local media outlets as well as using social media such as Twitter and Facebook to try to ensure the maximum reach of this recruitment campaign. Leafleting and banners have also been placed in key areas to highlight the recruitment drive and the need for individuals to support their community fire stations.
