West Midlands Fire Service boss quits following ‘repeated threats’

Mr Lee was appointed chief executive on an interim basis in March following the death of the service’s previous chief Wayne Brown in January.

In September, Mr Lee said he would not be applying for the permanent role.

He claimed the service’s governance lacked “courage, transparency, care and honesty”.

The West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority has yet to respond to Mr Lee’s latest comments, but in a statement regarding his suspension on Monday it said: “In what has been a very difficult year for West Midlands Fire Service, it is hugely deflating for all involved that we have reached this point, and we realise this will cause further public concern.”

“The day-to-day running of the service continues under the Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Simon Barry, supported by the rest of the leadership team.

“They remain fully focused on ensuring our people can continue to deliver a vital and outstanding emergency service to the communities of the West Midlands.”
