Performance Information
Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue regularly monitors its progress on all its community safety activity where the Service is contacted & responds. The Incident Split pie chart (available in the downloads section) shows the different types of emergency calls we attended during 2012/13 and the percentage that represents of our total number of calls.
The Performance posters show our performance compared with our targets for each of our operational priority areas. The posters are produced every three months and show the cumulative number of incidents from 1st April of the financial year.
