Our Projects
Following consultation, our projects are aimed at improving the effectiveness of our Service in key areas. These projects have been created following detailed analysis of incident data, which helps us understand the resources we have and make sure we can respond effectively to specific risks. Each project will be managed separately, but they are all interconnected and will strengthen our ability to respond to future demands and risks.
The Projects below were recently reviewed and updated to reflect current position following Humberside Fire Authority meeting in November 2025.
Project 1
We are reviewing and testing new ways to use Watch Managers so we can balance operational and corporate need without reducing response capability.
Project 2
We are reviewing the types of vehicles we use and trialling new, more effective options to support our response to incidents and future demand.
Project 3
We are reviewing our wholetime shift system and trialling alternative shift patterns to improve workforce flexibility, effectiveness and wellbeing.
Project 4
We are reviewing our Control Room shift system to create a system that offers more flexibility for staff while maximising time for essential training.
Project 5
We will keep reviewing and adjusting where specialist vehicles, equipment, and staff are placed based on risk.
Project 6
We are reviewing unused assets to see whether repurposing or selling them could help fund improvements in other parts of the Service. Consultation feedback has strongly supported this approach to make sure we remain fit for the future.
Project 7
Many of our projects rely on predictive data. Consultation has shown that our community believes we already have the tools for this and we are working with an external data company to help inform our decisions, considering factors like population growth and local demographics. This independent analysis will help make sure our fire stations are in the right places to serve our communities. Project now complete.
Project 8
On-Call staff are vital to our response. We are looking at ways to make their use more flexible to improve availability.
