The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has now published its final Strategic Plan 2019-22.

In light of the national Strategic Plan’s publication, SFRS’ Falkirk and West Lothian team will be working to review the Local Fire and Rescue Plan for the area, and are keen to speak with local people and organisations, including the third sector.
