Event Fire Services operating schedule
We are a private fire and rescue service provider working to current home office standards using competent trained
fire crews and using equipment maintained to a satisfactory standard and tested in line with current good practice.
All our staff work with safety in mind and operate in accordance with the home office publication "A Guide to Operational
Risk Assessment" (a copy of which is carried in the fire appliance).
We provide a first line firefighting and rescue service and work closely with the event promoters to reduce the risk of
fire and other emergencies occurring wherever possible.
The crews will operate regular patrols at key times and be "on call" from site at other times via two way radio or mobile
phone.
All incidents will be logged with the promoter, Any incident that involves insurable risk, ie: car fire, portaloo, etc
a record will be made on the form FDR 1, a home office fire report form, which will be passed on daily to the local county
fire service control or fire liaison officer.
Any incident that requires assistance from the county fire service will be dealt with by way of a 999 call with the appropriate
address and access gate number being relayed and the promoter or Event Fire Services will provide a guide to the incident.
The incident would then be passed over to the local authority brigade in accordance with command and control procedures.
This operating schedule is a generic guide to most events and may be modified to meet the approval of the local county
fire service and councils.
