What matters most to you when it comes to keeping your community safe?

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service does much more than respond to fires. We help prevent emergencies, protect people and businesses, and prepare for a wide range of risks across Lancashire.

Our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) sets out how we’ll help keep Lancashire safer over the next five years.

Earlier this year, we asked what matters most to our communities, and your feedback helped shape our draft plan.

Now, we want to hear what you think about the risks we’ve identified and how we plan to prevent and respond to them.

The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete and closes at 5pm on Friday 9 October 2026.

Our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) explains how we'll help keep Lancashire safer over the next five years.

Earlier this year, we asked our communities, partners and employees what matters most to them. We've used that feedback to develop our draft plan, and now we're inviting your views as part of the second phase of our consultation.

Could your child be our next Fire Cadet?

Does your child aged 13–18 want to learn new skills, build confidence and be part of a team?

Our Fire Cadets programme gives young people the opportunity to experience life as part of a uniformed service. They’ll be provided with a Fire Cadet uniform, attend weekly sessions at their local fire station and learn valuable skills including teamwork, leadership, communication and self-discipline.

Fire Cadets also have the chance to represent Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service at community events, work alongside our teams and learn from operational firefighters and community safety staff.

It’s a great opportunity for young people to make new friends, develop confidence and gain skills that will support them both now and in the future.

Fire Cadets is run at our station.

Applications close 21 July 2026 for a September start date.
