Community Risk Management Plan 2026-2030

Welcome!

Welcome to West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service's Community Risk Management Plan 2026 - 2030 public consultation.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service (WSFRS) has launched a public consultation on its proposals for its next Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP).

The CRMP is the fire service’s business plan setting out how it will keep the communities of West Sussex safe over the next four years, building on the priorities laid down in the service’s CRMP 2022 – 2026.

Last year the service launched a community questionnaire to ask people about the risks in West Sussex that concerned them the most. This feedback, together with a strategic assessment of the risks that exist within the county, has informed the plans proposed in this public consultation.

The service is now asking you for your views on the plans it proposes to put in place from April 2026 to make West Sussex a safer place to live, work and visit. The CRMP has five key areas of focus which include:

• Preventing fires and emergencies from happening
• Protecting people, firefighters and property by making buildings as safe from fire as they can be
• Responding to fires and emergencies quickly and effectively
• Having a safe and valued workforce
• Making best use of resources

You can read more about these proposals in our CRMP consultation below, and then share your views in the survey beneath:
