2008/09 Service Performance Plan cover
On 20 June 2008 Kent & Medway Fire & Rescue Authority (KMFRA) approved the Service Performance Plan for 2008/09|. This has been another successful year for KMRFA. It was recently scored as ‘Improving Strongly’ on its ‘Direction of Travel’ assessment, the best possible score, and achieved full marks for ‘Use of Resources’. This means that we are the best performing fire and rescue service in the country.
Chairman Bryan Cope said:

“I am very proud of our achievement over the last year. I hope you enjoy reading our Service Performance Plan which explains our plans for this year and although we have real challenges ahead I am confident we will continue to improve even further.”
