Highlands & Islands Fire & Rescue Service - Public Meetings

11th May 2012

Message from Deputy Chief Fire Officers

Friday 30th March marked the end of a series of Fire Board meetings which have allowed a clearer and more positive direction to be defined for the Service and the communities we serve. We are committed to keeping the communities of the Highlands and Islands up to date on the debate and outcome of these meetings.

The Service needs to closely examine its arrangements for providing a fire and rescue service to our communities. How that will finally look will vary from area to area and will, in some way, partly depend on the ability of individuals within the community to assist in making a Fire Station sustainable within a Best Value Framework.

To this end, and in order to relay the outcome of the debate and any speculation about the future, HIFRS is currently holding a number of open public meetings with our communities, to which you would be more than welcome to attend.
