Tayside Fire and Rescue Board Meeting

This morning I attended a meeting of Tayside Fire and Rescue Board in Forfar.  I was pleased to be able to congratulate the Chief Fire Officer on his appointment as the first Chief Officer of the new Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, I am sure that Alasdair Hay will do a great job but he is faced with many challenges.  There will be more developments in the management structure of Tayside Fire and Rescue over the next couple of weeks which will allow the service to operate until next year.
