In keeping with his stated commitment, Chief Executive Patrick Boyle met staff at the Provo and Grand Turk airport fire stations last Wednesday 14th and Friday 16th March 2012.
The CEO toured both facilities and held extensive discussions with fire fighters on ways to improve the current work environment and ensure the best possible delivery of this essential service. The visits were a follow up to discussions between Mr. Boyle and the fire fighters during their recent industrial action. The firefighters have decided to elect a small group of representatives to continue the dialogue with the CEO and incoming Permanent Secretary responsible for the fire services, Ms Susan Malcolm.
I have found my engagements with the two groups of fire fighters very useful in establishing where we need to go in ensuring we have a fit for purpose fire service in the TCI, said CEO Patrick Boyle.
I look forward to continuing the dialogue with the representative group of fire fighters and to working along with the PS and her Ministry to put the best possible solutions in place.
