4. The fire authority's current policy covering the evacuation of disabled
people from multi-occupancy buildings during a fire

CFRS do not have a specific policy directly relating to the evacuation of
disabled individuals during fires. It must be remembered that we are
moving away from policy and adopting National Operational Guidance in line
with all UK Fire & Rescue Services. CFRS train to remove people that are
incapacitated, immobile etc and have the means, resources and equipment to
deal with most eventualities in rescue situations. CFRS have a specific
pre-determined attendance (PDA) for fire incidents in premises such as
high-rise and care homes, which will allow for the immediate rescue of
relevant persons within the fire compartment .

 

I have attached a copy of the Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service
Freedom of Information Complaints Procedure for your information.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further
assistance.

 

Kind regards

Patricia
