Londoners have been urged to have their say on how the capital’s firefighters deal with terrorism in the wake of last year’s Paris attacks.

The draft London Safety Plan (LSP), published for public consultation today, includes proposals to expand the London Fire Brigade’s capacity to respond to a terrorist attack.

Last year’s Paris attacks brought the emergency services’ capability to respond to a marauding terrorist firearms attack (MTFA) into sharp focus.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan commissioned an independent review into London’s terror preparedness and a review of London Fire Brigade’s resources.

The draft plan echoes the recommends a boost in the number of specialist firefighters trained to move in behind the police to fight fires and help treat casualties in a terrorist incident.

Mr Khan said: “Keeping Londoners safe is my first priority, and London’s firefighters do an incredible job, putting themselves on the frontline for the rest of us every single day.

“As the capital faces new challenges and threats, we need to make sure our fire brigade is prepared and ready to respond to whatever may be around the corner.

“This new plan sets out a series of proposals for the coming years and I encourage all Londoners to have their say in the consultation, and help make sure we are doing everything we can to keep our capital city protected.”

Londoners are also invited to give their views on whether capability to respond to flooding should be expanded.
