00:00Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service has been told to take urgent action after inspectors
00:06raised concerns about public safety. His Majesty's Inspectorate says the service is not effectively
00:12managing risk information for high-risk sites, with examples found of inaccurate or outdated
00:18records. Inspectors say this information is vital to protect firefighters and the public
00:24during emergencies. The service had identified hundreds of sites needing detailed records,
00:29but only a small number have been reviewed. The new Chief Fire Officer says an action plan is being
00:36developed and has reassured residents that safety remains the top priority, with progress to be
00:42closely monitored by inspectors.
