Proud to have been HM Chief Inspector of Scottish Fire & Rescue Service (ret. 2021) & Chief Fire Officer of Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service (ret. 2016)
Today we remember those who fought for our freedom and the sacrifices they made. We are forever in their debt.
We also remember those still serving today.

A day of reflection today. Five years can seem like a few days, time loses meaning but memories never can. Have really missed you being around Paul. You are still very much thought about and part of our lives.
Thinking of everyone who loved Paul today

As a proud Executive Committee member of AFSA, it is always a pleasure to attend the conferences.
Another packed agenda with thought provoking topics for discussion.
Plus the added benefit of catching up with people and the opportunity to meet new people too.

National Fire Chiefs Council statement on the Bicester fire.
ALT “I am devastated by the news that two firefighters have lost their lives responding to a major incident in Bicester on Thursday evening. I am also deeply saddened that a member of the public has also died in the incident.
“Our firefighters are the very best of us, their courage and compassion is what make them so very special”
Chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council, Phil Garrigan, said:
“My thoughts are with their families, friends and colleagues at this incredibly difficult time”.
Today we take time to pause and reflect as we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who fought during WW2.

What a magical day & evening in
Rovaniemi. Reindeer & Husky rides, Northern Lights tour and having a frozen lake setting for a midnight feast of freshly made pizza. Memories that @SimonRouthJones and I will always treasure
