The Fire Service is reportedly facing an unprecedented leadership gap, due to the lack of a deputy chief fire officer for almost a month.
Fire Officers Association president Keone Guy yesterday said the deputy chief proceeded on vacation leave on July 25, leaving the post vacant. He added that the appointment of a replacement falls under the remit of the Service Commissions Department, which has indicated that a recommendation is before its board, but no decision has yet been made.
However, Guy warned that the prolonged vacancy is already placing additional strain on Chief Fire Officer Andy Hutchinson, who has assumed some of the deputy’s responsibilities.
