Re: Fancy a Career as a Senior Fire Officer Without the Faff of Starting at the Bottom?
Hi Messy I agree, sod all that, I assume there be a operational role for someone senior to cover that element and the station manager just focus on strategic stuff? Plenty roles now where recruitment approach is Graduate/University leavers rather than promoting within, so you get someone with a Degr...

Re: SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR GUILTY FIRE RISK ASSESSOR
A bit of a case of Chinese whispers, but I've heard that a) the FRA wasn't particularly bad, but the judge instructed the jury to find the assessor guilty if they didn't plead guilty, promising a much-attenuated sentence which then didn't really happen, and b) There was possibly a significant confl...

A lot of care homes have free swing doors these days, but would ...

Re: Government Response to Fire Consultation
So every single one of our flat doors to be checked every 3 months? 90 000 checks. Every three months. 100 per day. Half of which will be 'No access'. Okay then. And I've read the bolded section three times, and I'm still not quite sure what they mean. Are they really just saying 'to be competent y...
