Report by Barry Colvan, Watch Commander - Scottish Fire and Rescue Service

The Group considered a report from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), which provided an overview of the SFRS FQ3 review of local performance across Oban, Lorn and the Isles for the period 2021-22. John Sweeney highlighted information within the report around incidents during this period; recent community safety activity; and new smoke detector legislation.

Discussion took place around Home Fire Safety Visits (HFSVs) and the ways in which people could be referred to SFRS for assistance. John encouraged those who required further information in relation to the new smoke detector legislation to access information available on the Scottish Government website in the first instance, noting that a QR code link to this had been included in the report.

Decision

The Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Community Planning Group considered and noted the information provided.
