Aspatria Individual Station Risk Review / Profile This document assesses the specific performance and risk within the fire station area. It provides more defined risk profiling down to Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. The risk profiling process by its very nature provides evidence of the fire risk within each geographical LSOA using detailed known risk and demographic information. The risk formula used to inform our fire risk profile was devised following the Intervention Standards Review, full details are available on our website: www.cumbria.gov.uk/fire The review also identifies other significant risks in the area that need consideration so that our resources are appropriately allocated across the county. As well as looking at county wide issues and trends in the main Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP), this individual station risk profile considers: • Current resources • Appliance availability • Operational response activity • Fire risk profile • Next nearest supporting appliances • Location specific risks including: heritage risk, environment risk, site specific risks: flooding risks, rurality and resilience risk. Resources The station is located in the town centre on the main road through the town and is staffed by 11 On Call firefighters. On-call Fire Engine Availability 2014 During 2014 the fire engine in Aspatria has been off the run for 552.25 hours or 6.30% of the time.

Distance by Station Name Road (MILES) Maryport 8.0 Wigton 8.5 Cockermouth 9.0 Other contextual information Aspatria is a small town in West Cumbria situated approximately half way between the west coast and city of Carlisle, with a population of approximately 3,500 people. The main employer in the town is the Sealy bed manufacturer and First Milk & Cheese producing dairy products. The main risk within the Station area are associated with the two busy trunk roads, the A596 which runs through the town, and the nearby A595. These roads are busy with both commuter and transport traffic, along with slow moving agricultural traffic. This all equates to a high risk for road traffic collisions in the area. Other risks are associated with the large number of agricultural premises. Open farmland brings the danger of barn fires, heath and moor land fires, as well as livestock rescues. Aspatria: Risk in station area: Grade I listed: Harby Brow Tower, adjoining farmhouse and barn, Allhallows Church of St Mungo, Bromfield Hayton Castle, Hayton Whitehall, Mealsgate Heritage Church of St Michael, Torpenhow Grade II* listed: Church of St Kentigern, Aspatria Church of St Mary, Gilcrux Weary Hall, Mealsgate Dovecote south of Church of St Cuthbert, Parsonby Environment 2 Sites of Specific Scientific Interest Site Specific Sealy’s, Aspatria Risks First Milk & Cheese, Aspatria The Station has attended numerous rescues of persons from vehicles trapped in flood water on the roads in and around the Town (B5301, Arkleby, Flooding Plumbland). Flooding has also affected domestic properties in some of the smaller local villages (Arkleby, Measgate and Baggrow in recent years) Of the Super Output Areas 2 are designated “Town and Fringe” according to Rurality DEFRA Urban/Rural classifications and 2 are “Village Hamlets” The maps below examine the profile of the station in regard to broader risks. In this context, the maps represent the vulnerability (or risk) of a LSOA to a particular incident type, not a prediction of such an event happening in the future. Please note, a threshold has been set across the county in order to identify areas of greater risk from specific incident types, to inform prevention strategies and resource provision. 7 .
