LPSA Target 4: Home Safety
- To improve safety in the home (STAYWISE - Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service)
Confidence in achieving at least 60% stretch:
Low for Targets 1 and 2
High for Targets 3 and 4
Targets
- To reduce the number of accidental domestic fires by average of 13 per year over 3 years.
- To reduce the number of injuries (including precautionary checks) resulting from accidental fires in the home by average of 12 per year over 3 years.
- To reduce the number of both accidental and deliberate primary fires (excluding fires in 1. above) by average of 57 per year over 3 years.
- To reduce the number of both accidental and deliberate secondary fires by 51 per year over 3 years.
How and when targets are measured
Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service collect and record data in a continual real time process. Target data is collated from the 'Asset Co' database. Targets are reported annually. Estimated year end result extrapolated from year to date performance. Data reported is not adjusted to account for 'seasonal' variations.
Progress planned at this stage
We are now commencing the third year of a three year project.
Progress achieved at this stage
- STAYWISE implemented and library of learning available to educationalists and schools. Follow up letters and publicity provided schools to promote and encourage use.
- The Service has achieved a reduction in all targets over the last two years.
Significant problems encountered/predicted
- Target 1: Still exceeded. Changes made to organisation with the introduction of Case and Relationship Managers.
- Target 2: Targets exceeded. Target includes precautionary checks which make up approximately 75% of the actual returns. Improved quality of reporting has increased returns.
- Target 3: Target achieved at this stage. Resources and messages still need to be applied consistently to prevent a continuing slow increase in this area. Case Managers to address issues as part of their role.
- Target 4: Target achieved to date. Continue with reduction measures.
