REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL INSPECTION OF STRATHCLYDE FIRE BRIGADE 2003
COMPARISON AND TRENDS BETWEEN ALL SCOTTISH BRIGADES
Sampling performance within Scotland
9. Strathclyde Fire Brigade deals with what is consistently the highest annual number of operational incidents per 1000 population of any fire brigade in Scotland. One of the major contributory factors to this is the high proportion of densely populated urban areas within the Brigade's boundaries. The high population density is also one of the major reasons that the Brigade can operate with one of the lowest number of staff per 1000 population. These factors are also reflected by the highest number of emergency calls per control operator.
10. The Brigade's cost of provision per 1000 population, in common with most other brigades, rose over the previous year's. However, Strathclyde remains in the middle of the range across Scotland.
