How we measure community risk

We want to ensure that our fire stations, appliances and staff are based in the most suitable locations to meet the current and future needs of our communities.

We have spent years building our knowledge of changing community risk across Scotland through the development of our Community Risk Index Model, which is explained in the video.

The modelling we have done has shown that some stations and appliances are not in the right places to meet risk and demand.

We have used this knowledge to inform all of the options for change as part of our Service Delivery Review.
