With a growing population, increase in high-rise buildings and a need to grow London’s infrastructure – how is the London Fire Brigade (LFB) responding to London’s firefighting and safety challenges?
The LFB’s primary role as a fire and rescue service, is to make London the safest global city.[1]
Tomorrow the London Assembly Fire, Resilience and Emergency Planning Committee will investigate how the LFB is adapting to the variety of issues and opportunities for firefighting that come with living in a modern city like London.
The guests are:
- Dany Cotton QFSM, London Fire Commissioner
- Dr Fiona Twycross AM, Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience
- Sue Budden, Director of Corporate Services, London Fire Brigade
- Dan Daly, Assistant Director Fire Safety, London Fire Brigade
- Tim Powell, Assistant Director People Services, London Fire Brigade
The meeting will take place on Thursday, 26 September at 2.00pm in The Chamber, City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE via webcast or on our YouTube channel.
