The Committee had before it a report by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), which presented the 6 monthly performance figures, from 1^st April 2025 to 30^th September 2025 against the current objectives contained within the Aberdeen City Local Fire and Rescue Plan.

The report highlighted the progress being made by the SFRS locally against the priorities and objectives for Aberdeen City and also allowed scrutiny from Local Authority Partners to ensure that the priorities of the SFRS Strategic Plan, and the Aberdeen City Local Outcome Improvement Plan were being delivered.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee consider and note the performance data provided within the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service 6 monthly performance report.

The Committee heard from Mr Andrew Wright, Local Commander for SFRS who spoke in furtherance of the report and also provided a verbal update in relation to bonfire night, noting that due to positive collaborative working, the amount of incidents had significantly reduced from previous years.
