West Midlands Fire boss withdraws from role after four days

The new chief at West Midlands Fire and Rescue has withdrawn from the role, four days after his appointment was announced.

Ben Brook, who was announced as chief fire officer on Friday, stepped away from the service after a “period of reflection”, said the authority’s Vice Chair Councillor Catherine Miks.

Mr Brook had felt there was still too much work to be done at neighbouring Warwickshire Fire and Rescue where he served as chief fire officer, she said.

There have been calls for a public inquiry into the West Midlands authority after the interim chief executive and chairman of the fire authority both resigned. Former chief fire officer Wayne Brown was found dead at his home in January.
