NCC's consultation on Norfolk Fire & Rescue’s Community Risk Plan 2026-2031

Closes 26 Nov 2025

Opened 15 Oct 2025

Overview

The Fire and Rescue National Framework for England requires all fire and rescue services in England to produce a regular Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP).

Our CRMP outlines how Norfolk will identify, assess and address risks to the community, including those related to fire and other rescue emergencies. It sets out our proposals for keeping Norfolk safe and supports our vision to be the UK’s leading rural fire service.

We carry out our work in three main areas, these are Prevention, Protection and Response. We are here to support residents and businesses and protect the infrastructure and economy of our vast rural county.

A copy of the draft CRMP, and an Easy Read version and a Large Print version of the consultation are available to download.
