<p>Decisions on the provision of new fire pumps and other equipment are matters for
the local fire and rescue authority. <br><br>However, Northamptonshire fire and rescue
authority has successfully bid for £3.16 million from the £75 million Fire Transformation
Fund to replace their current fire service incident command unit vehicle with a purpose
built vehicle to be jointly crewed by police and fire staff. In addition, the funding
will enable Northamptonshire to purchase joint rural response units. This funding
will be made available in 2015-16.</p><p>Fire and rescue authorities are best placed
to assess and manage their performance through the integrated risk management plan.</p>
