Dan will be undertaking the additional road safety lead element of the role, from March 2023, alongside his role as Chief Fire Officer, which he was appointed to in October 2022 and NFCC road rescue lead position. In addition, he is the Vice-Chair of the United Kingdom Rescue Organisation.
Dan spoke of his appointment: “I am honoured to be given the opportunity to lead the national response to road safety and road rescue. This is an area I am extremely passionate about. For many fire and rescue services, including here in Surrey, we attend more road traffic collisions than we do house fires. Therefore, it’s so important that our teams and industry as a whole, are as educated, informed and well equipped as possible.”
