FIRESA's Fourth Annual General Meeting, held on 25th February at Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters, has been heralded as a notable success by attending members and our several specially invited guests. Delegates recieved a warm welcome from our host, Merseyside FRS Chief Fire Officer, Tony McGuirk. In addition to the obligatory constitutional matters, Chairman Dave Russell presented on a host of political, public and project-based activities of the Association over the past year, looking forward also to the priority projects and liaisons to be pursued in 2009. Among the primary areas of focus about to yield tangible benefits for members are Tendering Advice and Export Assistance; Vice-Chairman Gerry Styler and Council Member Tim Wight respectively spoke to these subjects during the proceedings. Special thanks are due to our guest speakers. FOBFO Chairman Dennis Davis spoke with his customary insight on 'Rekindling UK Fire' while the Keynote Address following the formal proceedings was given by the Fire Minister, Sadiq Khan MP, who was also kind enough to present certificates to our more recent new members. FIRESA Members are able to access the full presentation set in the Members' section of this web site.
