Fire Plans

A fire plan contains key information about an estate or farm to assist with wildfire suppression operations. They can be used by both public and private estates. If you would like to fill out a fire plan for your estate then please follow the link below to the relevant pages on the Rural Development Initiatives web site. Whilst there please do take a moment to read the guidance notes. Should you have any further queries then please contact Darrin Woods (darrin.woods@ruraldevelopment.org.uk) 

A copy of the fire plan will be provided to Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service so that it can be used in the event of a wildfire. The plan contains a wealth of key information which assists both land managers and the Rescue Services with wildfire suppression operations, including: 

• Estate contact details
• Neighboring landowner contact details
• Access points
• Water sources 
• Rendezvous points
• Available resources
• Priority areas
• Important Hazards
• Communications capabilities
• Insurance coverage
