Time is running out to share your views.

Our survey on the future of Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service closes this Sunday.

We’re currently developing our next Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP), the five-year plan that guides how we keep people across Lancashire safe. At this stage, there are no proposed changes; we’re simply asking communities what matters most to them.

Your feedback will help shape how our services are delivered in the years ahead, and we’re keen to hear from as many people as possible before the survey closes.

Your response will help guide how we protect and support communities over the next five years.

You might see multiple fire engines near Grimrod Place in Skelmersdale tomorrow morning.

Please do not worry, this is not an emergency, our crews are taking part in a training exercise.

Continuous training ensures our firefighters are prepared to respond safely and effectively to real incidents.

Team Training and Operational Fitness 🚒

Before every gym session, we always start our shift by checking that all our equipment is safe, serviceable, and ready to go. Once everything’s set, we train together — and that can mean anything from cardio and weight training to a full functional workout.

Our goal is simple: to ensure we maintain the fitness, strength, and resilience needed for operational preparedness at incidents. Every session helps build not only our individual strength but also our teamwork — pushing, supporting, and encouraging each other to keep improving. 💪

During training at work, we always make sure to keep something in the tank — ready for those all-important callouts when our community needs us most.

Chester Treadmill Test 🏃‍♂️

One of the fitness assessments we use is the Chester Treadmill Test. It’s a great way to measure aerobic fitness in a safe, controlled way.

Give it a go and see how you get on!

Protocol:
1. Warm-Up (0–2 minutes)
• Speed: 6.2 km/h (3.8 mph)
• Incline: 0%
2. Gradual Increase in Incline
• After the warm-up, keep the speed constant at 6.2 km/h (3.8 mph).
• Increase the incline by 3% every two minutes.

Test Levels:
0–2 minutes: 0% gradient
2–4 minutes: 3% gradient
4–6 minutes: 6% gradient
6–8 minutes: 9% gradient
8–10 minutes: 12% gradient
10–12 minutes: 15%
