2 LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 Foreword
The Fire and Rescue National Framework for England outlines the requirement for every fire and rescue authority to assess all foreseeable fire and rescue related risks that could affect their communities. It is essential that we have an understanding of both current and future risks and the consequences of those risks for the people, who live, work and visit Lincolnshire.
We will use this understanding to develop strategies and plans to prevent and mitigate risk to our communities. It is essentially about ensuring we have the right resources in the right place, at the right time to keep our communities safe.
This Community Risk Profile underpins our Integrated Risk Management Plan and provides the foundation on which to develop further detailed plans, as we work towards our vision ‘to make our communities safer, healthier and more resilient’.
As a Fire and Rescue Service we have had to change the way we work in order to respond to new and emerging risks and against a background of reduced central funding during this period of austerity. Developing an understanding of risk is essential to ensuring our resources and capabilities remain well placed to meet the needs of our communities. As part of Lincolnshire County Council we will also consider the needs of our partners within wider public protection delivery.
There will undoubtedly be challenges ahead but our values place improvement, diversity, service to the community and our people at the heart of what we do. It is our commitment to these values that will ensure we remain focused on delivering a professional, risk-led and innovative service to the communities of Lincolnshire.

LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 3 Introduction
This Community Risk Profile provides the context and background analysis of risk which will inform Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue’s Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) which is a statutory requirement for all FRS. It provides a comprehensive review of current risks and a forward-looking assessment of future risks to our communities and will help shape service delivery over the next three years.
This document is underpinned by detailed performance data and analytics, which together are used to support our understanding of community risk and help target activities, both strategically and on a day-to-day basis. It enables us to better understand the diverse nature of our communities and to identify, prioritise and plan for both current and foreseeable risks, in accordance with the requirements of the Fire and Rescue National Framework 2018, which states;
“Every Fire and Rescue Authority must assesses all foreseeable fire and rescue related risks that could affect their communities, whether they are local, cross-border, multi-authority and/or national in nature from fires to terrorist attacks. Regard must be had to Community Risk Registers produced by Local Resilience Forums and any other local risk analyses as appropriate”.
The Community Risk Profile also takes account of information supplied by partners and external influences on our Service at a local and national level. It does not replicate the statutory, multi-agency Community Risk Register managed by the Lincolnshire Local Resilience Forum (LRF).
4 LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 Executive risk summary
Having analysed all available data on both current and foreseeable future risks, we have produced the following priority community risks for the period This, alongside our historic demand, which shows a gradual increase in fires 2020–2023; over the last five years, has resulted in this being assessed as one ofour highest risks for 2020-23. Domestic fires make up 35% of our fire incidents, with almost half (48%) of those caused by cooking over the last five years. Risk Number Risk Type Risk Rating 84% (21) of fire fatalities over the same period occurred in dwelling fires. 1 Dwelling Fires 20 2 Road Traffic Collisions 20 Road Traffic Collisions The numbers of road traffic collisions (RTCs) where people were killed or 3 Health and Wellbeing 20 seriously injured on Lincolnshire’s roads has increased from 375 in 2013 to 4 Flooding and Severe Weather 20 507 in 2017 (Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership).
5 Non-Domestic Fires 12 5% of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) calls during this period were to RTCs. 6 Water risks 12 Our analysis shows that most of these collisions happen during the daytime and at peak travelling times. 7 Residential High Rise 10 8 Malicious Attacks 10 Several major projects are underway to improve Lincolnshire’s road network, including the Lincoln Eastern Bypass, which will be part of a wider concept to 9 Heritage 9 create a ring road around Lincoln city and is set for completion in May 2020. 10 Deliberate Fires 9 As a result RTCs are assessed as one of our highest risks. These risks will inform and drive Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue’s Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) and will help shape service delivery over the Flooding and Severe Weather next three years, ensuring our resources and the strategies we use to mitigate The 2013 tidal surge in Boston and the Wainfleet floods of 2019 were risk are targeted at the areas where they can make the most difference. significant flooding events requiring a multi-agency response and national FRS assistance. Dwelling Fires Lincolnshire has a total of 338,700 households across the county (VOA, 2017) Flooding and severe weather is considered a risk in the LRF community risk with over 52,000 of those privately rented. District councils produce their own register. As a result this is assessed as a high risk for 2020-23. strategies to address housing needs within the local authority area. As an example, the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan sets out how Central Lincolnshire alone will grow by 36,960 new homes between 2012 and 2036. We have a strategy to promote fire safety in the home and link in with District housing officers through a service level agreement.
LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 5 Non-Domestic Fires Residential High Rise Non-domestic fires include all business, commercial, industrial, schools and The 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy in London involved a 24 storey residential hospitals. Non-residential fires made up 17% of our fire incidents overthe high-rise building. The fire caused 72 deaths and 70 injuries. The subsequent last five years with the majority caused by electrical appliances (31%) and Grenfell Tower Inquiry (Phase 1 report) was published in October 2019 and deliberate ignition (21%). identified significant learning for fire and rescue services. LFR will analyse this report to ensure all learning is captured and, where appropriate, actioned upon The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) sets out a in order to ensure our planning and response to high rise incidents remains number of development objectives including improvements to Lincolnshire’s effective. infrastructure and economy, which will see an increase in non-domestic premises in the future. Fires in high-rise buildings present a significant risk to firefighters and the public. High-rise buildings are defined as those over 18 metres (5 storeys) of This is assessed as a high risk for 2020-23. which Lincolnshire has forty one, including hospitals and commercial premises. In total there are twenty residential high-rise buildings in Lincolnshire, most of Water risks which are located in the City of Lincoln. Over the last five years, there were Lincolnshire has a large network of waterways, consisting of rivers, drains and twelve recorded fire incidents in six of the residential high rise buildings within canals. There are 18 rivers running through the Lincolnshire, the two largest Lincoln. being the Witham and the Trent. Our waterways are important, supporting wildlife, providing drinking water and controlling flooding.
However they also present a risk to life with an average of 12 water rescue incidents attended in our waterways per year over the last 5 years (Not including RTC’s and Floods)
This is assessed as a high risk for 2020-23.
Health and Wellbeing Over recent years additional stations have taken up co-responding duties which is linked to an increase in calls to medical emergencies. However, changes to mobilising protocols within the NHS, along with the availability of LFR crews, saw the number of attended calls decrease in 2018/19.
Health and Wellbeing remains a high risk for the county and LFR will play a key role through our co-responding scheme and through our safe and well check The tallest high-rise buildings in Lincolnshire are Shuttleworth House (17 programme in mitigating this risk. Almost half of our calls are to co-responder floors), Jarvis House (15 floors), and Trent View (15 floors). incidents, with 92% of those resulting in some form of medical intervention by our crews. The consequences of such an incident remain high. As a result this has been assessed as a high risk for 2020-23. This is assessed as a high risk for 2020-23.
6 LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 Malicious Attacks This has been assessed as a medium risk for 2020-23 The UK faces a serious and sustained threat from terrorism, including from international groups, domestic extremists and Northern Ireland related groups. As of November 2019 the current UK threat level for international terrorism is ‘substantial’ which means an attack is likely.
Whilst there is no direct and specific threat to Lincolnshire, we continue to work with partner agencies to tackle extremism and provide resources, at both local and national level to respond to malicious attacks.
Due to the continued national threat, this has been assessed as a high risk for 2020-23.
Heritage The 2019 fire at the medieval cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris destroyed most of the historic building’s roof and took with it many irreplaceable artworks. This devastating incident underlined the importance of protecting our heritage buildings.
Lincolnshire is a county rich in cultural and physical heritage with many historic sites across the county, including the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle, St Boltophs Church (‘Boston stump’), Gainsborough Old Hall, one of the best preserved medieval manor houses in England, Tattershall Castle and Harlaxton Manor to name a few. Lincolnshire boasts many Grade I listed buildings and is home to several windmills.
Whilst the risk to life is relatively low, heritage buildings, due to their age are often constructed of combustible materials; their original features and contents often irreplaceable. It is therefore important that these historic properties are protected and as a result this has been assessed as a medium risk for 2020-23.
Heritage buildings are located across the county as shown opposite.
Deliberate Fires We have experienced an average of around 450 deliberate fires per year over the last 5 years. Most of these occur in vehicles or non-residential premises, . with a peak during the dry summer months.
LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 7 Risk assessment methodology
Defining Risk Before we begin profiling risk it is important to understand what we mean by risk, and how we define it. The ISO International Standard 31000:2018 (Risk Management - Guidelines) defines risk as:
“The effect of uncertainty on objectives”.
This definition is clarified by a note, stating:
“Risk is usually expressed in terms of risk sources, potential events, their consequences and their likelihood”.
Risk and Demand When thinking about the likelihood of fire and other incidents, it is important to note that ‘risk’ and ‘demand’ are not the same thing;
Risk is defined by the geographical locations of high-risk communities, people and premises and is connected with social factors in the population, including poverty/deprivation, age, health and lifestyle. Individuals at risk of harm from fire and other accidents are often also at risk of other types of harm. We know both from our routine local analysis and national research that incidents are more likely to happen to some individuals and in some areas, than others.
We routinely make use of data systems including the Lincolnshire Research Observatory, and demographic profiling tools (e.g. MOSAIC), both of which provide information to household/business level.
Demand is defined by historic, activity-based data, for example the number/location of incidents attended, the number/location of ‘Safe and Well’ checks carried out and the number/location of fire safety inspections completed.
This helps us to make the connections between community risk and incident activity and to target the available resources at the areas considered at greatest risk. Our approach to how we mitigate these risks is set out in the IRMP and is delivered through our annual service plan.

Whilst these datasets will evolve with out the key community risks for Lincolnshire together with an assessment of time (as new information, research and systems are introduced) our broad how likely they are to happen and the impacts across the county if they do. categories of data are defined below: This process sets the direction for community risks in Lincolnshire and will drive our assessment of the highest risks within our IRMP: Geographic Data Identifying places within communities that are more at risk and the nature of those risks.
Social Data Identifying types of people that are more at risk, through the use of marketing and other social data, then identifying the best way to reach those people.
Partnership Data Working with other services, including Health, Police and Social Services to jointly identify common groups, individuals and geographical areas where joint or shared interventions will be most effective.
Historic Demand Data Identifying historic incident data using the Incident Recording System (IRS) to support analysis of activity and demand. The risks identified by the Lincolnshire community risk register are:

LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 11 Risk Analysis Our risks are analysed using risk and workload modelling software. This allows us to build a layered picture of risk and drives planning by supporting the effective targeting of resources at those communities, premises and individuals most at risk.
We use an interactive mapping tool to share our risk analysis both internally and with other agencies. By sharing this information, managers are able to view, analyse and manipulate layers of risk within their areas, supporting multi-agency and local level risk-led decision-making.
Where relevant, we will use academic research to help improve understanding of risk and vulnerabilities, using relevant studies to make connections between national trends and local analysis of risk.
High Risk Communities We analyse the level of community risk using a methodology called ‘FRAM’ (Fire Risk Assessment Methodology). FRAM blends five years of incident data and indices of multiple deprivation to generate an independent risk score within a defined lower super output area (LSOA).
Applying this model to Lincolnshire generates a countywide geographical map of risk, consisting of high (red), medium (yellow) and low (green) risk areas, shown opposite.
FRAM is our base methodology for all LFR predictive risk analysis, against which additional layers are added, including high-risk businesses, response drivetimes and demand maps to build up a comprehensive picture of risk.
12 LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 High Risk Buildings We use Experian’s Incident Risk Score model (IRS) to identify high-risk premises for both operational risk, and fire safety inspections. This integrated approach provides a level of consistency in the base methodology used by both areas.
Experian’s model defines high risk buildings by 3 common areas of risk in commercial premises;
The presence of a large number of people. The presence of material or stock, which could be flammable. Places where food is being cooked.
The model profiles businesses against this risk and assigns a risk percentile score out of 100. The dataset is updated quarterly, which will allow LFR to identify businesses that have newly formed, ceased trading, moved, or merged.
The methodology for both fire safety and operational risk is described below;
Risk Based Inspection Programme Operational Risk Inspection Programme Experian’s IRS data is used to identify high rise premises for fire safety inspection. This is Experian’s IRS data is used to identify high-risk business known as our ‘Risk Based Inspection Programme’. The Experian data is blended with other premises for operational risk inspection.

Healthy life expectancy from birth in Lincolnshire is slightly lower than national estimates and has decreased since 2010.
70% of adults in the county are overweight or obese. National estimates of levels of morbid obesity suggest that there may be 11,500 adults with a BMI over 40 and nearly 800 with a BMI over 50 in Lincolnshire.
It was estimated that 11,688 people aged 65 and over were living with dementia in Lincolnshire in 2017. This accounted for 6.7% of all adults aged 65 and over. It is estimated that more than 15,000 individuals in Lincolnshire have a learning disability.
The number of people aged 65+ admitted to hospital as a result of falls is projected to increase from 3,309 in 2014 to 5,188 in 2030.
Lincolnshire’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment provides further evidence and analysis around health in the county.
The Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Lincolnshire sets out the following Health priorities for the county:
Mental Health and Emotional Physical Activity Wellbeing (Children and Young Housing and Health people) Obesity Mental Health (Adults) Dementia Carers
Delivery of the objectives identified for each of these priorities will be through Lincolnshire’s Health and Wellbeing Board.

It is also east coast flooding or surface water flooding following a severe weather home to a diverse range of wildlife including the grey seal. Large areas of land event. along the coastline are below sea level and are protected from flooding by sea walls and defences. In 2013 Boston experienced a devastating tidal surge affecting approximately 600 homes and businesses in the town. It was the worst flooding seen in There are a number of internationally and nationally important nature Lincolnshire in 60 years. The ‘Boston Barrier’ is a partnership between the conservation sites along the coast, including the Wash, which is classified as Environment Agency, Lincolnshire County Council, Boston Borough Council a Site of Special Scientific Interest. and Black Sluice Internal Drainage Board, who are all working together to reduce the risk of tidal flooding in Boston. This tidal flood defence system is There are 18 rivers running through the county, the two largest being the set to be operational by December 2019 and will provide protection for 14,300 Witham and the Trent. It is also home to the Foss Dyke canal, one of England’s properties in the area. When the barrier is built and the banks immediately oldest canal systems still in use today. downstream are raised, Boston will be protected from a tidal surge with a 0.3% annual probability (or 1 in 300 chance of happening in any one year).
We have worked closely with the University of Lincoln geography department to help improve our understanding of future flood risk in Lincolnshire. A report by UOL aims to highlight the flooding risk in Lincolnshire, whilst spatially analysing the extent of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue’s dispersal and resourcing models.
This academic study used a wide variety of flood data and LFR drivetime modelling to describes;
Lincolnshire’s low lying land places it at high risk from rising sea levels and storm surges. An estimated 220,000 people live in Lincolnshire’s coastal zone thus exposing them to catastrophic flooding impacts from the sea. Identifies all high, medium and low risk areas. Areas of greatest risk are in Boston and Skegness. All medium and high risk areas of flood risk are covered by LFR current 10 minute response times. Identifies stations at Boston, Mablethorpe and Skegness which are at risk themselves and suggests business continuity measures. Looks at impact of future flood defences e.g. Boston barrier. Recommends the FRS consider greater community involvement to ensure the at risk population are equipped to deal with a flooding event. Ordnance Survey Open Rivers in Lincolnshire
20 LINCOLNSHIRE FIRE & RESCUE UNDERSTANDING RISK IN LINCOLNSHIRE 2020 – 2023 Economy Agriculture, commercial, industrial, finance, transport, energy, public services and leisure and tourism make up the county’s economy.
The county’s coastal resorts attract around 20 million visitors per year, many during the summer months.
Lincoln City has the fourth highest proportion of students in the East Midlands with around 10,000 students at the University of Lincoln. Lincolnshire’s long- Artists impression of the Boston Barrier standing reliance on traditional industries such as agriculture remains high.
Access to the Environment Agency’s flood risk maps allows us to analyse The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has developed the risk and ensure we are adequately prepared: a number of priorities and plans to meet economic development objectives. These plans provide a window into what Lincolnshire might look like in the future and allow us to predict and prepare for associated risk.
The main priority growth areas are:
Agri-food Low carbon Visitor economy Health and care Manufacturing and engineering Ports and logistics
