Minutes:
The Board considered a
copy of the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service Annual report for Halton 2016-17, and received an update on the Integrated
Risk Management Plan 2017-18 (IRMP).
On behalf of Cheshire Fire and
Rescue Service, Lynsey McVay attended the meeting and
outlined the Service performance in Halton during the
past year and compared the different type of incidents attended to previous
year performance.
The Board discussed the installation
of sprinkler systems in new build properties and in existing high rise
buildings. It was noted that the Fire Service had set aside a budget to install
sprinkler systems in high rise buildings, however, only a small number of
Housing Associations had chosen to proceed. Halton
Housing Association had yet to stall a sprinkler system at Churchill Mansions.
Members of the Board were invited to
contact Ms McVay to arrange a visit to a fire station
or to attend the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service Performance meeting in July.
RESOLVED: That
1.
the
report be noted; and
2. the Board thanked Lynsey McVay for her informative presentation.
