Kent and Medway Fire and Rescue Service - Low cost and high performance 


Released  12 February 2009

Corporate risk data is provided to local station managers. It is finely tuned to street level so that local managers can target the highest risk properties. This has helped to achieve high levels of performance at a comparatively low cost. Kent Fire and Rescue Service achieved challenging efficiency targets in 2008. The service avoids unnecessary spending. Robust monitoring procedures ensure that achievement of efficiency targets has become integrated with routine service planning and delivery.
