Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 28 February 2020.
When will the Brigade’s revised policy note 790 be published?
The revised policy for Fire Survival Guidance (FSG) is currently undergoing peer review and engagement with key stakeholders. A programme of testing and exercising has been undertaken to finalise a new and enhanced procedure that allows firefighters to deal with multiple FSG calls more effectively. This, in turn, will meet one of the key recommendations from the Public Inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire Phase 1 report in relation to the passing of two-way information between the incident ground and Control. It is expected that formal consultation on the policy will begin in mid-March and the policy will be implemented following the rollout of suitable training in Q2 2020/21.
