West Midlands Fire Service appoints new chief

A patron of a charity supporting burns victims in the West Midlands has been appointed chief of West Midlands Fire Service today.

Phillip Loach, 47, who will officially serve as Chief Fire Officer from today, was appointed temporarily to the post in November last year following his predecessor’s retirement.

I am humbled by the confidence the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority have shown in me by making me the CFO of West Midlands Fire Service. My absolute focus will be on translating this confidence into actions that continue to provide the highest levels of protection and prevention for vulnerable people.

– Chief Fire Officer Phillip Loach,
