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.

Have your say: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/LFRScrmp2

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

There is still a section of Queens Promenade closed and local road closures in place.
