Chief Fire Officer Steven Torrie, Chief Inspector of the Fire and Rescue Authorities and Head of the Scottish Fire and Advisory Unit yesterday made a preliminary visit to Gibraltar, to familiarise himself with Gibraltar and the City Fire Brigade, with a view of conducting a Fire Service review of the Brigade.

Brigade. It is envisaged that the formal review will commence in late April.

Rescue Services in 2006 – 2010 and subsequently appointed to his present post.
