Subject: Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Transformation
Good evening Andrew,
As the Local Senior Officer for the Falkirk and West Lothian area, I’d like to reassure you and members of the Denny Community that there are no plans to close Denny Fire Station under the transformation of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS).
The Service is operating against a backdrop of both significantly changing risks and the greatest financial challenges seen in decades and must transform to continue to protect our communities from new and emerging risks. We also cannot ignore the financial imperative. We cannot sustain the current frontline delivery beyond this financial year. Staying as we are is not an option.
A webpage on the Service’s website http://www.firescotland.gov.uk/transformation.aspx has been dedicated to Service Transformation and provides more detail on the initial ‘conversation’ the Service is looking to have with communities across Scotland and no decisions have been made as yet. Further details with regards public consultation on our Service Transformaiton plans will be made available towards the end of this year.
Regards, David.
David Lockhart | Area Manager | Local Senior Officer for Falkirk and West Lothian | Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
